IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager Express for Inventory

Understanding what hardware and software assets your business has, how much you have and where it all resides is vital.

Yet few businesses have accurate, efficient methods for identifying, tracking and reporting on hardware and software assets. As a result, they expose themselves to potential security vulnerabilities, because the configurations of their systems do not align with their standards.

To help your midsize organisation efficiently and cost-effectively automate inventory and asset management, IBM has developed IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager Express software. Not only is this software easy to install, use and manage, it also helps you maximize employee efficiency and lower costs.

IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager Express for Inventory is an efficient, low-cost, lightweight inventory management solution that collects, measures, stores, and maintains hardware, software (including security patches), and asset information. The Web-based interface makes it easy to access information, track assets and generate reports. It delivers over 140 standard reports that can be easily customized, saved and regenerated on a schedule you set. Tivoli Provisioning Manager Express for Inventory can also be used to generate target lists for needed updates and report compliance with IT security policies to help protect your data and improve security.
