If decisions on upgrades and the roll out of new technology are to be taken from an informed position, then information is key. With this in mind, CrossTec EMS provides one of the most comprehensive and detailed Hardware Inventory modules available on the market today.

A wealth of information for specific PCs is provided ranging from CPU and BIOS types to memory, memory slots used and those available for future expansion. Information is presented either for a specific PC or for departments summarized by category, such as by Operating System, CPU, Video Card or Memory.

Inventory reports are displayed either for a single PC, a selected Department, condition based "Dynamic Group" or for the Company.

Hardware Inventory updates can be configured to run at different time intervals. Specific settings can be applied for the Company or for separate departments. The EMS operator is able to run a quick Inventory update at any time.

Ensuring the most accurate information is always available, EMS provides the option to add details of associated items manually, such as a PDA or Mobile Phone, and provides a standalone Inventory scan of a non-networked PC which can be added to the EMS database.

CrossTec EMS offers multi-platform support for Windows and Linux systems.

Software Asset Management and Inventory

CrossTec EMS helps organizations manage license compliance and reduce software overspend by accurately reporting installed software and proactively identifying PC’s with software that has no or low usage.

Featuring a detailed summary of all installed programs and applications detected on each PC, CrossTec EMS displays this information for either a selected PC, a department or custom group. Full support for recording, tracking and the management of software licenses and maintenance contracts is included.

Recognizing that often there are many different versions of a common application in use, EMS provides the ability to create customized Application Groups, where all such versions are grouped together for more effective reporting.

Inventory reports are displayed either for a single PC, Department, Dynamic Group or for the overall Company.

CrossTec EMS offers multi-platform support for Windows and Linux systems.

Software Inventory reports both Programs installed ( e.g. MS Office Professional) and Applications installed ( e.g. MS Word, Excel etc)

CrossTec EMS also provides a File Scan option whereby specified file types can be located on PC’s. This could be used to ensure documents are not being stored locally and missing company backup routines or to enforce the companies policy on the misuse of copyrighted digital materials such as music and video files.
