The Secret Sauce

Automated Hardware and Software Inventory

NetPoint inventories almost two-dozen types of hardware and software by polling your Windows domain. Polling can be triggered manually, on a scheduled basis, or as your systems come online. If you only need to inventory part of a domain, you can easily configure NetPoint to limit its scope.

In addition to detecting recently installed hardware and software, NetPoint keeps an eye out for anything that has been uninstalled. You can subscribe to these notifications via RSS, so you'll be the first one to know when something has been added or removed from your network.

Oh and don't worry about installing any client software. NetPoint leverages native Windows technologies, so this is all taken care of for you.

Access and Share Your Network Inventory

Our web interface can be used by your entire team to search, chart, and track your network inventory. You can perform advanced queries right from your NetPoint homepage. To help you get the most out of your data, all queries can be charted, exported to Excel, or subscribed to via RSS.

Software license usage can be easily tracked via the NetPoint homepage. You can do this by creating a new software title, entering the amount of licenses purchased, and associating one or more programs with it. You can then monitor your license usage and get alerted the moment you're not in compliance. NetPoint will also let you know how often the software is being used within your organization, a helpful tip when you're looking to renew your licenses.

NetPoint makes it simple to track the inventory of your individual systems. Notes, warranties, and procurement information can be recorded along-side each computer. You can also remotely control any of your desktops via the web with built-in support for Remote Desktop and VNC.

It's easy to view system information from third-party applications too. For example, help desk maker OneOrZero has enabled their customers to view a system's inventory from any support ticket.
