Software Process (Asset Portal application)

Including in your electronic equipment inventory the software running on each machine can provide valuable information when upgrading your software packages, assigning users to workstations, and categorizing workstations based on their software.

By using Archibus Web Central to post basic software and equipment data on a company intranet, you can provide staff the tools that they need to check for themselves the available software and licenses, thereby saving time and improving efficiency. Similarly, authorized users can enter into the system the software installed on their machines, rather than relying on the IT department to do this work.
