Benefits |
|---|---|
1 Seamless Integration with Publisher and Vendor Procurement Data |
1 Asset Vision enables Microsoft & Adobe Licensing statements to be directly imported in their native formats, and procurement history data from large account resellers. Using built in maps and entitlement calculations of the various vendors upgrade models, Asset Vision uses this information to generate a baseline entitlement with virtually no effort, and since the vendor and/or publisher procurement data is used to construct the information, you are left with a solid proof of entitlement. From this baseline manual entitlements form retail purchases can easily be added. |
2 Class Leading Discovery and Software Recognition |
2 Asset Vision | Self Audit by default uses the highly efficient discovery mechanism of Asset Vision | Professional Edition. This includes the recovery of various types of Software Tags including the Microsoft Digital Product ID (DPID). Asset Vision can decode a DPID and derive from the DPID key recognition details which, when used in conjunction with our cloud-based recognition engine, provide the most accurate mechanism with which to identify installed software. You’ll no longer be in any doubt which version of SQL Server is running and whether its installed on a per-processor or per server basis. |
3 Virtualization Aware |
3 Asset Vision will report on the precise relationship of virtual to physical machines for your licensed software, including the metrics that count such as physical and virtual processor counts and VMs per Physical Machine. You’ll have everything you need to ensure you understand your exposure from vendors emerging virtualization licensing strategies. |
4 Entitlements, Allocation and Consumption |
4 Supports the three pillars of Software Asset Management; specifically Entitlements as derived from vendor, publisher and internal purchase records; license allocations to users and devices, and license consumption based on metric-sensitive inventory. The net effect is that you’ll get a 360 degree view of you license requirements as part of the self-audit analysis. |

5 Asset Vision is extremely customizable. For example if you want to store multiple scanned contractual documents alongside the structured information obtained from the procurement data import, this can be done in ways that match precisely the relationships you wish to represent.
