Web based asset management

Vector Networks Inc

Asset Manager Pro v5.5 from Vector Networks offers web based IT asset management |
|
Vector Networks' flagship Asset Manager Pro now delivers compliance-critical IT Asset Management functionality over the web. IT Administrators accustomed to visibility and control of PCs on the LAN, can now extend their reach to mobile assets over the Internet.
Asset Manager Pro supports Discovery, Inventory, Software Usage Monitoring, and Application Software Requirements Planning. Kevin Kiley, VP Sales and Business Development observes, "Including remote machines in the organization's drive to optimize its IT assets is no longer a nice-to-have; it's a must-have."
The ability to collect accurate software usage information from the entire PC population is a key requirement for any organization looking to reduce IT costs through optimization. Kiley added, "Another result of the current economic climate is that customers are looking for any opportunity to reduce costs. Getting the most out of existing application licensing is high on the list. Vector Asset Manager Pro, and its companion, Software Compliance and Optimization solution, tell you where there are unused copies of software which can either be cancelled with the vendor or re-allocated to another PC."
Erick Yanez, Vector's Montreal-based VP Development said, "Twelve months ago, LAN/WAN connection was the default; customers used our early Proof of Concept internet support on an occasional basis. As their exposure to the new capability continued, they came to rely more and more on the flexibility it provides. It became clear their direction was that Internet connectivity should be the default for AM Pro, with LAN/WAN communication kicking in when it happened to suit the current location of the mobile PC concerned."
Asset Manager Pro v5.5 also completes the Vista support for the AM Pro Client, both 32bit and 64 bit. Although the keynote for v5.5 is Web support, Vector has also taken the opportunity to fold in enhancements such as multi-monitor data capture at the Client and support for scheduled reports. The Portal now supports a public URL, and at the same time, emails that can be sent from within Portal Reports can now be encrypted using SSL.
