Manage hardware and software assets

Tracking software licenses and equipment status across multiple departments is a challenge. Turn that challenge into an opportunity to better budget for upgrades and save money on license fees with the HP Compaq dc7700p.

The same “always-available” hardware-based, OOB communications channel that allows for quick PC inventory also helps enable:

•Time savings by remotely polling all network-connected HP Compaq dc7700p Business Desktops for unique hardware IDs and software versions, regardless of power or OS state.

•Automatic updates to ensure PC compliance with policy-prescribed configuration.

•Fewer deskside visits to identify failed hardware parts that need to be replaced.

•Potential cost savings on license fees with accurate software inventories.

•Improvements in life-cycle management with better budgeting and planning tools for equipment upgrades.

Third-party software stores hardware and software asset information in tamper-resistant, nonvolatile memory where it can be accessed by authorized staff from the IT management console.
