Third Party Review of Express Software Manager Version 9.5

We’re deep in the final throes of shipping Express Software Manager Version 9.5 (so I’ll keep this short!), but I wanted to post a link to a very strong review we got from Martin Thompson of the ITAM Review.  We demo’ed an early release of the product to him a couple of weeks ago, with a primary focus on the new IT purchasing system that will now ship with Express Software Manager.  Read the Express Software Manager 9.5 Preview We’re looking forward to getting the...

Part 1) The Great Debate Having read (and responded to) comments to Martin Thompson’s recent blog post about the pros and cons of using agent-based IT asset management technology, I felt compelled to articulate my perspective on the subject.  It’s a topic that seems to generate a fair share of controversy, and although I may live to regret stirring the pot (novice blogger that I am), I believe the arguments in favor of agent-based technology have been generally under-represented, poorly...
