Software Migration The role of accurate IT inventory data

Planning A Software Migration?

Software migration projects in large organizations are complex and costly, principally because of gaps in IT inventory information.

Avoiding Cost Overruns

Traditional network inventory tools hinder IT departments in the implementation of migration projects. Specifically, because the number of machines and devices identified can be out by as much as 20%, costs estimates are often out by a similar figure.

In particular, organisations run the risk of buying software for machines that are/should be retired, or underestimating costs in respect of hardware upgrades.

Is Your Information Up To Date?

Migration projects require dynamic network inventory and monitoring, using best in class tools, such as those from iQuate. These tools enable managers to pin-point machines to be upgraded and software licenses to be re-deployed.

They also enable managers to track progress and dynamically reconcile licensing requirements as migration projects advance.
