BMC Configuration Discovery Express

Business Challenge

Making accurate technology decisions, assessing security risks, and managing ongoing support efforts requires an intimate knowledge of all devices connected to your network. How many desktops are still running Windows® 2000? Which PCs need memory upgrades? What desktops need the latest security patch? Finding the answers to these questions via a manual inventory is time-consuming and tedious, and the data is often obsolete as soon as the last desktop is inventoried.

Business Need

• Reduce your total cost of ownership
• Use asset inventory data to improve help desk service levels and resolve desktop problems faster
• Maintain an accurate inventory of IT assets and comply with software license regulations
• Identify thousands of hardware and software attributes
