Asset Management

In today's business environment, people need to choose the best operating systems and applications to be effective in their jobs. Keeping track of all these assets, applications and software licenses throughout a LAN, WAN, or global distributed enterprise is a full time job in itself. With netOctopus, over 500 hardware, software and system details can be at your fingertips instantly - stored in a database for searching, sorting and reporting. Information-gathering should be a tool, not an obstacle.

Remote Configuration

Even within a single building, it takes time to send technicians around to every workstation, checking and adjusting system and network settings, or ensuring compliance with company policies. For help desk technicians to talk end users through these adjustments on the phone may take even longer. netOctopus allows you to check and adjust system settings remotely, saving time, and making your IT staff more productive.

Software Distribution

With netOctopus, software updates, or new software roll-outs can be scheduled and run from a centralized location, using custom installer packages you create. But the hard part of software distribution comes long before the applications are installed. Use netOctopus to determine whether your company is in compliance with software licensing agreements; to determine which systems need upgrades; to find out what machines may need OS or hardware upgrades before you can even install the new software. netOctopus can dramatically reduce your preparation and planning time for every software roll-out.
