Using a network discovery tool, you can identify:
- What you have on your network
- Where it is
- Who uses it
- How it is configured
- How it is used
In addition to the Fixed Assets module, we have the experience and expertise to provide a
suitable network discovery module that tracks all networked assets once deployed. This provides
information on the asset, its location and usage. It will also track changes to the software and
hardware configuration, which is beneficial for planning changes to the IT equipment and for
supporting the user base. This directly helps the IT team support the user base more effectively.
The finance team will also get crucial information on the asset which will help maintain the
accuracy of the fixed asset register.
Integration between Network Discovery and the Fixed Assets module
A company's fixed assets register should always be reconciled with what assets are actually
deployed. This ensures that the information in the fixed asset module is up to date and accurate.
If you are using a network discovery tool, when IT assets go through moves, changes, maintenance
or disposal, you will have the information to update the Fixed Assets module.

Network discovery module
Up to date information on asset numbers, configuration, location and use. Tracks changes in configuration

There are a number of changes that can happen to an asset whilst deployed. The network discovery
module 'polices' the assets to ensure that the information held in the fixed asset database is up to
date and true.
The Network Discovery module ensures you have better information, making the IT assets easier to
manage both for the IT and Finance teams. This provides the foundations for better IT asset management.
