Discovery & Inventory Management
Effective IT asset management starts with a complete inventory of the hardware and software within your organization. This way you know what you have. After this baseline analysis (discovery), it is important to keep the overview up to date and reliable (inventory management). In addition, it is important to use measurements to establish actual software use. Discovery & Inventory Management is the right approach for this.
Reliable Discovery & Inventory Management discovery & inventory management is complex, especially in larger organizations with an extensive and varied IT landscape. It requires a high degree of software-product knowledge and expertise in SAM tools to structurally arrange and automate these processes as much as possible. Our technical tool specialists and consultants will help you with this. We offer the following services:
- Preliminary research: what does the IT landscape actually look like? How many laptops and desktops are there, number of servers, used virtualization techniques and cloud providers?
- SAM tool selection: we provide independent advice on the best tool for your organization. We specialize in all common SAM tools such as Snow, ServiceNow and Flexera, but also in other useful tools such as LANSweeper or SCCM;
- SAM tool implementation: installation and configuration work to configure the processes using for example agentless network scans, agents, APIs and file imports;
- Gap analysis; we compare the tool implementation with other sources such as the CMDB, (Azure) Active Directory and the preliminary research to determine if we are complete. This analysis is done continuously using monitoring tools.
