A data collection service that provides you detailed technical and commercial information about your technology department in an in depth easily readable report.
It is easy for a large organisation to lose track of hardware deployed in their IT environment. While data is available in multiple systems, from multiple departments, often the location of assets, detailed specifications and current capacity and loads is inconsistent or incomplete.
Software is even more difficult to track, virtualisation technologies, the complexity of multiple operating systems, software types and versions exacerbate this problem. The challenge lies in synchronising and refining all of this data. This allows the identification and leveraging of asset management opportunities and supplier consolidation. Without accurate information about your technology business or department, it’s difficult to plan and design for the future.
There are usually inconsistencies between existing software deployed, purchasing records and license agreements, making it impossible for organisations to prove compliance with software licensing obligations.
Without accurate software license and usage information an organisation cannot effectively manage assets, financial and reputational risks.
Snapshot gives you a clear picture of the current state of your IT business, not just your technology. Comprehensive reports integrate all aspects of IT operations, including technology, procurement and finance.
Snapshot is a data collection service providing you with detailed licensing and technical information about your IT business. It can be implemented quickly and easily, without disruption to day to day activities.
Using a combination of tools and expertise we extract data from your IT devices such as PCs, servers, networks and printers to identify the hardware and software deployed in your organisation. We extract data from your finance systems, asset registers and licensing systems to identify expenditure and licensing rights, and any gaps or underutilisation that may exist.
You are provided with detailed reports covering hardware and software assets and license compliance. In addition your organisation can benefit from a cleansed and structured data set that loads straight into your CMDB. Your reports present decision ready information relevant to all areas of your organisation; from desktop support to CEO.
