Microsoft Asset Inventory Service
To remain compliant and optimize IT budgets, organizations must effectively manage their software-
asset inventory, and the  rst step toward upgrading to a new version of Windows is to get an accurate
inventory of all their applications. The Microsoft Asset Inventory Service provides advanced software
inventory scanning capabilities, with a robust database of software titles that translates application data
into useful, IT-friendly information for
on-demand access. The Asset Inven-
tory Service is an easily administered
hosted service that you can access
from virtually anywhere in the world,
which makes it easy for IT profes-
sionals to send reports to anyone
in the organization. The service also
supports remote workers, telecom-
muters, and branch of ce scenarios.
With the Asset Inventory Service,
you can quickly and easily identify
installed applications that contradict
corporate policies. Its rich categoriza-
tion and intelligence features can be
used in a broad variety of ways—from
forecasting organizational needs to
identifying individual computers for
recovery and troubleshooting.
