Why use an automated discovery process?

Hardware and software IT assets change over time. Devices are placed in service, retired, or repurposed. Software is installed, upgraded, and uninstalled. In short, a company’s IT assets change just as quickly as the company changes. An automated discovery process is more reliable, provides more comprehensive information, and saves hundreds, perhaps thousands, of man hours that would otherwise be spent acquiring the asset information, so that the company can spend more time analyzing the data to make informed decisions.
