How To Have Detailed Software Inventory In 10 Minutes Or Even Less
Every IT manager knows how important it is to keep the software on managed PCs under strict control to ensure that unlicensed software is not used in your company. This helps avoiding uncomfortable legal fees during the external audit when the company is required to prove that the software it uses is appropriately licensed.
Of course manual software inventory can be rather difficult and time-consuming. Especially when there is a large number of computers and every employee can install different games and peer-to-peer programs without informing his system administrator. Network Inventory Advisor by ClearApps helps you keep your company software base always up-to-date and allows avoiding unpleasant surprises with software audit.
