Seattle, WA — Express Metrix, a leader in IT asset management solutions, today announced the introduction of a comprehensive IT purchase tracking system with the latest release of its product, Express Software Manager®, Version 9.5. The new IT purchasing system is designed to address challenges organizations face when trying to map purchasing details to deployed assets and recognize often-concealed financial aspects vital to effectively managing those assets. Version 9.5 enables IT professionals to consolidate and reconcile procurement details with both IT inventory data and usage statistics, so they can easily recognize software license deficits and overages, analyze IT spending levels, evaluate cost and asset allocations, keep track of maintenance and lease details, and much more.
The new IT purchasing module, which is the principal new feature behind the latest release of Express Software Manager, provides a web-based interface that allows administrators to enter or import unlimited purchasing information for hardware and software assets, assign purchases to end users and organizational groups, and reconcile purchasing data with inventoried devices and applications.
Express Metrix CEO, Kris Barker, believes current and prospective customers will enthusiastically embrace the latest release of Express Software Manager. According to Barker, "The new purchase tracking capabilities of Express Software Manager will significantly transform organizations' abilities to track and manage their hardware and software assets from purchase through retirement—not just by understanding what's installed and being used on the network, but also by revealing the financial aspects, opportunities and potential risks related to those assets. The ability to analyze inventory and usage data from a financial perspective is meaningful not just to IT departments, but also to executive stakeholders as they evaluate existing and future capital investments."
Other product enhancements include expanded support for virtualized environments and the addition of multiple new reports driven by customer feedback.
