Inventory Management

Discover assets and track hardware and software investments

View White Paper

Overview

Companies need a way to easily identify and understand their entire IT asset portfolio. Manually tracking these assets results in wasted time, redundant purchases, increased support costs and increased risk of being non-compliant. The initial step to asset intelligence is automation—automating key processes to ensure complete visibility into hardware and software inventory. The next step is having the ability to centralize the automation process for even the most heterogeneous environments.

What you should be thinking about...

  • How do I easily identify and redistribute unused software licenses?
  • I am migrating to Windows 7; how can I get an accurate depiction of what my asset inventory looks like prior to the move?
  • Most of my machines are Windows® and MacOS® workstations; how do I handle all of those systems from one centralized console?
  • How can I get a complete listing of my hardware inventory across the organization?

Numara® Asset Management Platform automates complex asset tracking and provides accurate, current, and complete asset intelligence to organizations, large and small.

Our solution:

  • Guides investment decisions regarding asset management and gives a more accurate depiction of what costs can be avoided and which costs are fixed.
  • Reduce hidden costs by identifying and redistributing unused software licenses
  • Increase the rate of first-call to resolution by having an accurate picture of user environments
