| Eracent EnterpriseAM Enhances Inventory and Discovery Capabilities of Microsoft Systems Management Server |
|
|
Eracent, Inc. announced today the integration of its EnterpriseAM IT Asset
Discovery and Inventory with Microsoft Systems Management Server® (SMS). By
enhancing the capabilities of Microsoft SMS using Eracent EnterpriseAM (EAM),
Eracent's solutions are able to enhance the value of the information and
functionality provided by Microsoft SMS, maximizing the value organizations can
derive from their technology investments.
Eracent has created “add-on” or
additional “snap-ins” for the SMS collection process in place within SMS
collection environments. This system is not a replacement for the SMS agent, but
becomes an integrated process with SMS. When SMS runs, the Eracent code will
collect the necessary input data that the EnterpriseAM analysis and reporting
intelligence engines require to generate the detailed software inventory
data.
Eracent's back-end integration solution combines Eracent
EnterpriseAM's advanced data collection and reporting capabilities with
Microsoft SMS' superior software distribution technology. By coupling
EnterpriseAM with SMS, an organization benefits from the efficiencies of SMS
combined with the extreme accuracy of the EnterpriseAM software inventory
process. In pairing the two software packages the SMS agent is used to collect
the required data, which is then processed by EnterpriseAM using Eracent's
Intelligence Engine.
By utilizing Eracent's powerful software
identification intelligence engine the functions needed for patch management and
effective software license management are consolidated into a single tool.
Eracent enhances this integration even further by automating the reconciliation
of software purchased against software deployed, providing IT professionals with
one central command point for true Asset Management
capability.
Commenting on this new advanced capability, Walt Szablowski,
Eracent's President, said: “I believe that we have created something that adds
great value to the vast number of companies who use Microsoft SMS as part of
their IT operations. Eracent can help them leverage their existing investment
and gain the benefits of an extremely detailed and accurate software inventory
database”
Eracent's add-on solution leverages data collection and data
transport capabilities in environments that already enjoy the widespread use and
benefits of Microsoft SMS. By enhancing Microsoft SMS' data collection
capabilities, and augmenting the software inventory data currently collected by
the Microsoft SMS client, Eracent is able to employ its intelligence engine to
provide the enterprise with detailed software information. By combining the
advantages of Microsoft SMS and Eracent Enterprise the capabilities of each
respective tool are preserved and new functionality becomes available to the IT
professional.
