Using manual processes for software asset management (SAM) increases costs, impedes application rationalization, and exposes companies to data loss and security breaches.

To reduce the risk of cyber-attacks, IT teams need to stay on top of OS updates and patching, as well as upgrading end of support servers and devices. Failure to update these systems leaves companies open to data breaches and ransomware attacks. For regulated industries like financial services and healthcare, these breaches can also result in multi-million-dollar fines from regulators.

At the same time, organizations need a comprehensive view of application usage to identify redundancies and determine if they are overspending on licenses. Manual data collection and analysis makes this a herculean task that few IT teams have bandwidth to address.

ReadyWorks provides a wholistic view of your application estate by aggregating information stored in siloed systems of record including endpoint management systems, SaaS management platforms, discovery tools, DEX systems, CMDBS, and spreadsheets. Use ReadyWorks to fill data gaps by automating the stakeholder interview process using personalized emails and data collection portals. Categorize applications based on number of users, functions supported, or levels of criticality and risk. Use ReadyWorks to identify application versions, redundant applications, and overspend on licenses. Prioritize systems that require an upgrade or patch and orchestrate workflows to ensure action is taken. ReadyWorks does all this quickly without the need for custom scripting.
