Recognize – good software recognition means time savings for you
The Express Software Identification Database (ESID)™ is known throughout the industry for its completeness and accuracy. That’s why creators of asset management tools for enterprise organizations such as BMC and Tivoli OEM the ESID.
The ESID is a comprehensive database that enables Express products to quickly identify the applications installed and used in your environment. The ESID includes information about thousands of commercial applications, and supporting files, from nearly 3,200 vendors.
The ESID is updated monthly and is available to customers with a current maintenance subscription. For home-grown applications, and the occasional application that ESID doesn’t recognize, Express provides a simple tool that allows you to quickly configure your custom application.
ESID - Great recognition means time savings for you
The average organization has hundreds of thousands of files that Express products discover when conducting a software audit. Tools that do not have accurate and thorough recognition leave you to sift through thousands upon thousands of meaningless file names to reconcile them with your software applications – time consuming and not very useful. With the ESID, this task is virtually non-existent. But don’t take our word for it, see what our customers say:
"When I did the software audit, the Express tool discovered over 18,000 different files. Then, when I reconciled those against the Express ESID, it recognized all but 25! As an added bonus, using the Administrative Console, I was able to quickly add and configure the remaining 25 files to the database."
Jorge Vela, IS Manager United Defense Orlando
Unrecognized Applications
When you do find the occasional unrecognized application, Express provides two easy ways to add unrecognized applications, so your next inventory is even smoother: configure them directly from the Express Administrative Console, or use the AppScan utility to gather information that Express Metrix can add to a future ESID release.
Without a comprehensive software recognition database, PC audit tools quickly become more work than help. ESID ensures your organization actually saves time and money with comprehensive software recognition.
Customers with a current Express Maintenance subscription have access to the monthly updates to the ESID. Evaluators can obtain the latest ESID by visiting the evaluation center.
Now that you’ve recognized all your files, see why Report is the final key product differentiator.
