What is a Software Inventory?

A software inventory is the process of identifying, recording, monitoring, maintaining, and planning all of the software and applications used in your company.

Who Should Do a Software Inventory?

The short answer: every company. This is why.

Every organization, regardless of size, relies on technology to support not only its day-to-day operations but also its long-term strategic business goals. Putting your technology assets to work doesn't happen without human intention and continuous attention.

For small organizations the software inventory helps build the scalable technology foundation needed to grow. Large organizations are challenged to meet both internal users and customers needs with adaptable, practical technology. An always-current software inventory supports the focused planning and implementation necessary to meet those needs and avoid costly software sprawl.

It's less about counting and more about IT asset discovery. The software and applications you have invested in are significant company assets that need to be delivering strategic results for your company and your customers.
