Software Inventory
Without effective asset management, the costs
for supporting the IT infrastructure can often spiral out of control
especially when factoring in the cost of non-compliance.
With NetSupport DNA, organizations can reduce the legal risks by
maintaining compliance with software licence agreements, improve
the accuracy of budget forecasting by removing over spend on software
assets and ensure the IT function is supporting the overall organizational
objectives.
Featuring a detailed summary of all applications detected on a
target PC, NetSupport DNA displays this information (with supporting
application icon) either on a PC by PC basis or as a group where
overall totals (with drill down functionality) for each application
are shown.
Recognizing that often, there are many different versions of a
common application in use, DNA provides the ability to create customized
Application Groups, where all such versions are grouped together
for more effective reporting.
Application Groups also offer the ability to monitor license levels
within an organization. By inputting the number of licenses for
each application, software usage levels can be identified whenever
a software inventory is executed. As well as appearing within the
Software Inventory listings, this license information can also be
displayed within the DNA Application Metering section.
- Inventory reports are displayed either for a single Client,
Department, Dynamic Group or for the overall Company.
- NetSupport DNA offers multi-platform support. With the latest
version, together with full support for Windows 98 and above,
Red Hat 9, Red Hat Enterprise, SuSE 9 and Fedora Core 6 Linux
distributions are supported.
- Software Inventory frequency can be configured to run at different
time intervals. Specific settings can be set for the overall Company
or for separate departments.
- NetSupport DNA also provides a File Scan option whereby files
of certain types can be identified eg. "MP3 files of a certain
size.
