Take PC Software Inventory to the next level.


Would you like to be notified in real time when your organization faces software license compliance issues, or when maintenance contracts for mission critical desktops applications are about to expire? Perhaps you would also like to collect information such as location, country, building, floor or department from your network connected PC's.


Get full IT asset tracking and thus control of all software licenses, hardware information, user profiles and much more in just a few simple steps by using Specops Invetory, an extension to Group Policy. Installation and usage is simple and straightforward, and you will be up and running in hours, not days, weeks or even months - which is the implementation time of competing solutions.


You can now do this and more by using Active Directory and Group Policy, an infrastructure you already own and have invested significant time, money, and resources in building. Specops Inventory is the first and only Group Policy based inventory solution reporting on all information from your Active Directory computer and user infrastructure, providing detailed asset tracking data for virtually all Windows based hardware and software.

Press coverage:

"Specops Inventory is the most innovative inventory solution we've seen to date. AD is one of the best technologies Microsoft has ever delivered, so a technology like SOI that extends its functionality is a boon to overworked and overextended Wintel system administrators. If you're working in AD, you should take a good look at SOI."
