How it Works
Key Benefits
Express Software Manager makes it easy to:
- Automate the PC software and hardware inventory process, and query individual computer configurations so you no longer waste time on tedious and error-prone manual processes.
- Ensure software license compliance by pinpointing unlicensed software and monitoring new installations.
- Identify unused software so you can reduce licensing and support costs.
- Enforce desktop standards by identifying and preventing the use of applications that pose security risks, degrade network performance, or damage productivity.
- Track purchasing information such as number of licenses, serial numbers, maintenance or lease expiration dates, purchase order details, and any additional parameters you specify.
- Choose from agent-less or agent-based deployment (for most complete feature set).
Data Collected
Express Software Manager collects the following software and hardware asset data:
- PC software inventory data such as application title, product ID, size, date, path, version, and whether the installation is standalone or part of a suite.
- PC hardware inventory information such as computer name, manufacturer, CPU type and speed, memory, available disk space, network card address and manufacturer, serial number, and any custom hardware parameters you specify.
- Software usage data, including frequency of use, start and stop time, idle time, and peak usage.
