LANDesk Asset Lifecycle Manager

What is Software Asset Management from LANDesk?

For comprehensive Software Asset Management, combine LANDesk Asset Lifecycle Manager with an endpoint management solution such as LANDesk Management Suite 9, to import software discovery and license monitoring data. Begin to determine true software compliance at both the individual license and full product level. You’ll be able to calculate how many software licenses have been purchased and compare this to discovery and entitlement data to provide validated counts of licenses owned, discovered, assigned and available.

Create reports that show compliance and entitlement information—and specifically identify both the software and devices that are out of compliance.This helps you leverage both discovery data and your entitlement program to not only determine overall compliance, but to drive an active license management program.

Collect and relate key facts; contracts, warranties, proofs of purchase, licenses and product usage to complete the picture and derive validated counts backed up with appropriate documentation.

With LANDesk Asset Lifecycle Manager you can: 

• Stay one step ahead of the auditors by establishing a software asset management program, with entitlement and reconciliation tools to help you enforce your policies.
• Benefit from complete, accurate and structured data about software contracts and licenses, to validate license ownership and provide insight for purchase and allocation planning.
• Contain costs and understand the availability of software assets by recovering under-used licenses and reallocating them, and identifying un-entitled installs so they can be removed or properly entitled. 
• Control license purchases by right sizing future purchases agreements based on validated usage information and reconciled entitlements.

Integration and Control

The robust automation and process control embedded in LANDesk Asset Lifecycle Manager helps you significantly increase efficiency and centralized control with the delivery of automated responses to requests or events. This allows customers to keep stakeholders informed of changes, and connect tasks across operational silos and their unique applications.

The automation in LANDesk Asset Lifecycle Manager also extends the reach of  LANDesk Management Suite. For example, patch administrators can make intelligent decisions without going back to LANDesk Management Suite. An automated patch process can detect new patches made available in the suite, immediately notify IT and security teams, and automatically initiate a test deployment to lab computers pending approval for general deployment by the change advisory board—and the state control engine monitors the success of each patch deployment. This process has also been greatly enhanced by allowing looping. For example, if an issue causes the patch process to stop, the system has built-in intelligence through its state map to restart the process at the appropriate place—which saves valuable time and effort.

By connecting people, processes, and tools through automation, LANDesk Asset Lifecycle Manager increases the efficiency of business and operational processes and enables more effective response for key stakeholders.
