Software audit: EasyVista Usage
While inventory tools only detect what software is installed, EasyVista Usage measures their actual usage: Duration, start-up frequency, etc. EasyVista Usage supplies a list of workstations and software by level of usage.
The results generated allow license management policies to be optimised by identifying which software is not being used, so it can be redeployed and over-purchasing of licenses, upgrades or annual support is avoided.
EasyVista Mobile: Physical Inventory of Assets
EasyVista Mobile allows the physical tracking of equipment and is linked with the information contained in EasyVista Asset Management. The EasyVista Asset Management database can be run from a Pocket PC and augments complementary information gathered by the person who takes the inventory. These portable readers, which do not need a hard-wire network connection, verify, update and synchronise data with the EasyVista Asset Management module.
