Strategic audit planning is one of the foundations of effective IT hardware and software asset management. OpExpert helps you manage this time-consuming effort by scanning your networks to discover Microsoft Windows based workstations, servers, and devices and collecting complete hardware and software information. OpExert does not deploy any agent.
OpExpert scans your network for Microsoft Windows based assets using standard WMI protocol and updates the Asset Repository. It collects software usage information and stores it in the Asset Repository, helping you identify underutilized software deployments, manage license compliance reviews, and reclaim unused software licenses for deployment in other parts of the organization.
Managing IT assets effectively is an ongoing process. OpExpert provides an overview of the information necessary for managing desktops on the network. An indispensable tool in tackling software piracy, OpExpert can reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) through efficient license management and by aligning workstation configurations with end-user requirements.
