Make the right decision... first time, every time
Discovery 2005™ helps organizations gain 100% visibility and understanding of all IT assets on the network. It provides dynamic business level reporting as well as all the detailed information you need; from an overview of installed software and the configuration of every PC, through to an accurate and up-to-date record of the location of every piece of hardware on the network.

Increase effectiveness, drive down costs
Accurate asset discovery information can save you money and time across all areas of IT. Discovery 2005 will help you:
  • Save up to 25% on enterprise license renewals
  • Eliminate redundant purchases by redeploying unused IT assets
  • Reduce the cost of major IT projects by up to 40%
  • Monitor and stop unauthorized IT purchases

Discovery 2005 not only finds all assets on the network, it actively helps managers understand how individual assets are being used, where to uncover savings and when to optimize the use of existing hardware and software.

Achieve and maintain compliance
Through its unique Discovery.Dashboard, stakeholders across the organization can use Discovery 2005 to resolve business level questions. The customizable dashboard provides multiple summary reports that let you see specific IT asset configurations, usage and location details with the click of a mouse. Discovery.Dashboard even contains customized reports for BSA and SIIA compliance, as well as individual software vendors such as Microsoft, so you can quickly assess which software is under- or over-licensed. The brand new Discovery.Portal goes one step further by helping you recognize all the software found by Discovery 2005. Discovery.Portal eliminates the need to manually investigate unrecognized software and provides a wealth of product-specific information such as: what the software is, who developed it and whether or not it is licensable.
