Inventory with RayVentory

The IT landscape is constantly changing. Therefore, it is not easy to recognize which software applications have been installed and which license rights exist for them. Nevertheless, the inventory of all software assets is an absolutely necessary task to be protected from audits or to prepare migrations. Today, large organizations often have geographically dispersed offices, some of which have very limited network access due to logistical and security reasons. Also the rights of works councils or data protection rules do not make the collection of data about software installations and license certificates any easier.

All these factors make it difficult for a company to provide a comprehensive license balance of all installed software applications. However, this is unavoidable if, for example, a SAM project is to be started or if a license audit is due. Especially under time pressure, many companies relapse into the manual execution of device scans, which often results in high costs and time effort.
