Reduce Costs by Identifying Underperforming and Underutilized IT Assets
IT assets are expensive, and increasingly difficult to secure. Industry research shows that organizations routinely waste money by paying for vast amounts of unused workstation software. Coupled with a lack of clarity around inventory, license liability, usage and even asset location, accurate management of ongoing costs has become impossible. If you have difficulty figuring out who has which asset, where the assets are and what their status is, Asset Vision Workstation can help.
Asset Vision provides you the tools to avoid these penalties.

Software License Compliance
Asset Vision License Manager is a cloud based solution that provides in-depth reporting capabilities for organisiations to manage their IT software license compliance.
Software publishers are increasingly flexing their audit rights; some analyst firms now estimate that an organisations' chance of suffering a software audit within the next 12 months is greater than 50/50.
Beat the auditors by being ahead of the game and know exactly what you have installed vs owned. Use this information to uninstall software, decrease license count or purchase additional licenses.
IT Optimisation & Actual Usage
Know exactly what you have, where it is and how often, or if, it's being used.
Asset Vision Optimise is unique in its metering capabilities and the only product on the market that will give you accurate usage data. Using an agent installed on each desktop, laptop and server, mouse and keyboard activity triggers a counter against the relevant software application, or web application, in use. This data is then sent to the server once a day and used in reports that will give you a deep understanding of your IT environment.
Asset Vision Optimise measures usage for applications, users, machines, Windows® captions (file name/ActiveX control/workflow), web applications, Terminal Service/XenApp environments, and local or network printers. Additionally, it measures usage for virtual desktops and virtual applications.
