REPORTS

The inventory report details the number of installations per application. When drilling down to a specific application, the report displays the list of computers with the application installed, installation date, version and the most recent update date.

SoftWatch provides IT and purchasing departments with a valuable tool for managing purchased software licenses. A semi-automatic tool, users simply need to select the vendor and the system will immediately display a list of the vendor’s applications and the available versions. Through this user-friendly interface, purchasing managers can enter the number of licenses purchased, the sum paid and the expiry date of each license. SoftWatch can be configured to alert relevant personnel before licenses expire. Signed license agreements can also be attached to ensure complete documentation is always available.

The SoftWatch solution’s core report, this includes information to verify compliance and make certain that the number of licenses installed does not exceed the number purchased. Going far deeper than identifying open applications, SoftWatch detects which running applications are in focus and, most importantly, which display interactivity through keyboard and mouse activity. This makes SoftWatch a full situational analysis tool valuable for decision-making and purchasing. The report is intuitively designed, enabling IT Managers to easily see what actions need to be taken to improve license management and significantly reduce license, installation and maintenance costs. SoftWatch’s proprietary Deep Usage Analysis technology is applied automatically to all desktop applications.
