Centennial Discovery Software Audit

<<< Back to Features

Whether you’re embarking on a full Software Asset Management (SAM) initiative, assessing your software license compliance position or preparing for an OS migration, getting an accurate picture of the software installed and in use on the network is critical.

The best software recognition

Understanding both the advantages and disadvantages of the File Header and Database methods of recognising software on the network, Centennial Discovery employs a unique four-phase recognition engine which uses the best of both technologies, plus complex algorithms, to ensure that you get the most accurate results with the least effort.

Tracking software usage

When managing software, it's important not only to know what's installed but also if it is actively being used. Over time, Centennial Discovery helps managers create an accurate view of software usage, helping to identify redundant applications and redistribute programs to more needy users.
