Please recommend some software to help the IT Department of my firm to create and keep up to date an IT assets register. We have a department of 3, who look after around 100 users. Almost all of our systems are MS, and the software could (but does not have to) use MS SQLServer to hold the data, with an appropriate front end. We want to be able to capture and automatically update such information as user PC processor in use, memory, attached printers (where possible), disk drive details etc, as well as carrying out a software audit (on servers and user PCs). The software should also have somewhere to store licensing details - eg date licence puchased, next renewal, in use by, and so on. I'm sure there are lots of options, but what would be sensible for a firm of our size? We are fed up with having to keep all of this info up to date manually (which, often, doesn't happen!)

Manchester -- I'm going to recommend a series of products based on personal experience, as we use Belarc Advisor to do the same here (albeit with only 4 PCs to manage). Understanding that you need a tool that manages the information on a server, you may want to consider another of Belarc's products for that purpose. However, you can see the range of information provided on the web-based PC solution. It provides information on key components, as well as software licenses and peripherals: Belarc Advisor "Free Personal PC Audit" http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html BellManage http://www.belarc.com/belmanage.html Now, since you may want to find other companies providing similar products to see what else is available, a relevant Google search strategy is to search for: "Belarc Advisor" then, click on the "Similar Pages" link, where you can find similar companies. Unfortunately, none seem to provide exactly the same services as the Belarc product. Best regards, Omnivorous-GA | |
