What Network Inventory Management Software is for

Every computer expert managing a network needs to know what's going on in it. Having a detailed inventory of the machines and devices on the network is important. Why is it so important? Because if a network audit is on schedule or a software upgrade is coming, you need to know whether all of the computers are up-to-date to support new systems or if there is additional work to be done before the upgrade.

“ If a network audit is on schedule or a software upgrade is coming, you need to know whether all of the computers are up-to-date to support new systems or if there is additional work to be done before the upgrade.”

Keeping a clear and current inventory is not a simple task. Special software network scanning tools will efficiently collect all the information you need and will neatly organize it for your usage.

How an inventory scanner works

With the help of software audit tools you can remotely obtain the list of applications installed and updates from computers on the network as well as find all devices on network. You can either scan computers on network with the help of an inventory scanner or specify the group of computers to be scanned. Then you'll need to enter the credentials with administrator privileges. Once the scan was performed the results will be displayed comprehensively with the possibility to export them to a file.

The scan and other inventory processes are performed remotely and are invisible to the users of computers on the network. The information gathered is kept in a central database and includes the application name, version, installation date, etc.

Another conveniency is that Network Inventory Advisor can be set up to scan your network and devices automatically.

This way you always stay in the know of any changes that occur on the computers or if something new appears on the monitored network.

Network scans are easy to schedule. If you have a busy office it is better to perform a scan at a non-peak time. Different scans that were performed at different times can be conveniently compared in the main interface of the inventory app.
