Managers cannot hope to accurately budget for the costs and labor involved in any IT project if they don’t first have an accurate view of the hardware and software assets involved. Centennial Discovery provides a full and dynamically-updated view of all IT assets on the network, down to a highly granular level.
Centennial Discovery combines a complete audit of the network or organizational unit with advanced what-if planning tools to help scope upcoming IT initiatives.
For organizations considering a migration to Windows Vista, Centennial Discovery features specialized reports designed to help managers determine which PCs on the network meet the Microsoft Vista Capable or Vista Premium Ready minimum hardware specification, and which PCs will need to be upgraded or replaced.
Thanks to its ability to audit the network dynamically, Centennial Discovery is ideally suited to keep managers informed of project progress, by continually showing which PCs have been refreshed or which applications have been upgraded to the latest version.
With the optional Discovery.Visual network mapping module, managers can graphically track the roll-out of new hardware or software, quickly identifying any issues or potential delays.
