USU - Business Service Management

An exact, comprehensive and constantly updated IT inventory is critical for optimum management of hardware components and software licenses. You need a powerful inventory scanner for the initial discovery, the inventory as well as for the recurring comparison of your as-is (actual situation) with your target data (desired situation).

Valuemation Inventory is an OEM software, based on patented BDNA technology, that is seamlessly integrated in the Valuemation Suite. Valuemation Inventory provides a significantly greater added value compared to traditional software tools used for discovery and inventory. As a basis for inventorying items, our solution relies on a unique, extremely comprehensive and constantly updated hardware and software product catalog with more than 124,000 entries.

The server-based technology seeks and finds IT assets - without using agents. This approach ensures quick and smooth installation of the scanner, without first having to install special software on each client. Here's what Valuemation Inventory can do for you:

Find all hardware and software components in use in your network
Inventory your hardware and software components across all platforms very quickly without any manual intervention or use of agents
Verify IT components using unique fingerprints
Supplement technical raw data with helpful product data.
