Import and Integrate - Asset Vision provides a wealth of integration options for importing inventory data from other systems, including purchasing systems, service desks, and more. Building integrations is easy. An intuitive wizard walks you through the various steps to build and test an integration model. Once built, the model can be run on demand, or scheduled according to your needs.

Business Intelligence - Business Intelligence is central to the Asset Vision platform with pre-configured dashboards, reports and data views are standard within the product. However, it is impossible to anticipate the reporting and data presentation needs of all organizations with complex IT environments, so the product was designed to enable IT professionals to craft answers to any questions that may emerge thru custom reporting. By collecting and processing data from every corner of the IT estate, this business intelligence capability ensures IT asset intelligence can be curated to meet your needs.
-
Normalization and Enrichment - At its core Asset Vision has an integrated, cloud-based and crowd-sourced recognition engine. This facility enables us to normalize virtually any meaningful IT asset data point. With over 1,500,000 total entries, Asset Vision is rarely unable to correctly identify and categorize IT asset data. In conjunction with our customers, we generally add over 1000 additional entries each quarter. In addition to simple recognition and normalization, our catalog has extensive enrichment. Data such as release dates, end of life dates, license metrics, location data, and more all combine to enrich the raw data returned by discovery into meaningful and actionable IT asset intelligence.
-
Custom Fields - Asset Vision provides for custom field creation, either within entirely new objects or extending existing objects. Once defined, customization survives all platform updates and can be incorporated into any of the business intelligence functions. If you need to record asset information unique to your organization, whether manually or automatically, Asset Vision IT asset management products will do the job.
Optimize financial management with usage metering
Asset Vision Workstation is the ultimate in software usage metering technology. It delivers forensic-level usage analysis of traditional and virtual applications, applications running on virtual desktops and web applications. In conjunction with other core features of the Asset Vision solution, this can dramatically drive down operational IT costs by identifying hardware and software assets that can be reconfigured, recycled, or retired, so you can eliminate unnecessary expenditures.
Support software asset management with inventory, entitlements, and license rules
Asset Vision Workstation enables IT to prepare an accurate, thorough, and detailed picture of license compliance without outside vendor involvement, dramatically reducing the complexity and manual tasks required to manage software license entitlement information. It forms the basis for sound Software Asset Management practices and, in conjunction with other tools in the Asset Vision suite, can reduce software expenditure and eliminate compliance risk.
Whether you are reconciling licenses for desktop applications or datacenter software assets, you can compare license assignments to licenses owned to understand the size and scope of your software license compliance risk. Asset Vision incorporates a reporting function that leverages the data view concept to help build pivot views and dashboards. Besides numerous pre-built data views which can be modified and saved to speed report creation custom views can be easily created and shared.
Dependency mapping
Asset Vision Dependency Mapping operates without an agent, augmenting the agentless server discovery capabilities of Asset Vision. Overlaying dependencies on your asset inventory identifies under and overused servers as well as the software causing the dependency.
