With the DCMS you can map the whole lifecycle of software assets. All properties and attributes of your software can be detected at any time and thus be managed and controlled properly. All this information is always easily accessible and can be used as basis for your corporate workflows and processes. These are the different steps:
To get a sound planning basis, it is necessary to determine the company’s actual software inventory. This is easily done with the Inventory function of the DCMS.
In combination with the Software Asset Management DNA, all installed applications are identified accurately. In addition, the module Application Metering delivers useful information on what software is used how often.
The File and Contract Repository makes the documentation of your acquired software transparent and easily comprehensible. You can assign documents, like contracts or license agreements, directly to the relevant software asset.
The module Software Deployment highly increases the efficiency of software installations in networks of all sizes. Realtime System Management is the perfect module for IT support: simply connect to a remote PC to manage and control processes.
Software Asset Management DNA helps you to prepare for audits, avoid inefficient or incorrect licensing and increase legal certainty and predictability. SAM DNA delivers valid data that serve as a basis to make risks and costs more transparent and assessable.
Patch Management provides your PCs with the latest patches and updates to make sure that your software is always up to date. Helpdesk optimizes and improves internal processes and enhances support productivity at the same time.
The DeskCenter Management Suite helps you to decide what software to keep, what software to dispose of or to renew. Here, the modules Software Deployment, Application Metering and Software Asset Management work hand in hand.
