When it comes to tracking IT assets, a one-time snapshot that’s out of date the moment the audit is complete just isn’t good enough. That’s why Centennial Discovery is designed to find, audit and track all software and hardware throughout the full lifecycle of the asset, from cradle to grave.

So whenever a new piece of hardware is added to the network, Discovery will automatically report what kind of device has been detected (PC, server, printer etc.) and where in the organization it is physically located.

By deploying a small client agent to new PCs and servers, Discovery will return a complete audit of all component hardware and installed software.  But Discovery doesn’t stop there.  The client agent will then continually monitor the computer for configuration, location and software changes, dynamically updating the asset repository when important changes occur – even if there is no periodic audit scheduled.

No matter where in the organization the asset is moved to, Discovery will continue to provide a full audit so that managers can build a complete historical view of usage, location and configuration.

Even when outdated equipment is retired or returned, Discovery can maintain an archive version of the asset record, enabling organizations to meet regulatory demands for audit trails and record-keeping.
