HALO Technologies will monitor your hardware and software assets and compare them to previous inventories in order to:

• Provide reports in order to assist in managing your software licenses and avoid penalties for using unlicensed software
  • All installed software, including licensing information, version numbers, full path and description
  • Operating System information with version number and service pack build
  • Insure applictions and drivers are all at the latest, most up to date version
• Reduce your maintenance and support costs by having an accurate and up to date hardware inventory
  • All hardware, including CPUs, PCI cards, memory and drives
  • System Information from DMI and SMBIOS including PC make, model, serial number, motherboard type, and over 40 other pieces of information describing the PC and its configuration
  • Current network settings including local IP address, gateway IP address, DNS, WINS, DHCP, and MAC address
  • In the event of hardware failure, know exactly what manufacture and model of subsystem failed
  • Reduce multiple on-site visits caused by not having the right components
• Allow for more accurate IT forcasting and budgeting
• Allow for upgrade planning and error-free software rollouts
• Continuously provide a third-party list of assets for insurance verification purposes in the event of a catastrophe
  • The asset profile is stored on the server, so you know what is there even if the managed computer won't boot or is stolen

Managing and controlling your hardware and software assets has never been easier or more powerful. Previously, it would never have be possible to dedicate the resources to ensure that an employee were not removing RAM and taking it home to install on their system there, or that someone hadn't installed unlicensed software onto their office workstation.

Yet, with the need for more powerful hardware and with software fines up to $150,000 per illegal copy, maintaining control over your assets and software licensing, has never been more critical.
