INVENTORY
To undertand your full IT estate, your SAM must be able to audit all platforms across your network including desktops, servers, mobile regardless of their platform.
SOFTWARE VISIBILITY
Finding all the applications across your business is key. Any SAM you deploy must be able to discover and track the “unknowns” to be truly effective.
