SupportSoft today introduced the latest version of its Auto Discovery and Metering™ (ADM) software featuring new ClearView Analytics™ technology. With ADM, IT organizations now have the ability to discover, inventory and meter a company's hardware and software assets in real-time with one solution -- versus the typical approach of using multiple tools from different vendors. The result is the ability for faster asset identification, easier access to inventory information and overall optimization of a company's IT assets.

Businesses are pressured to look for ways to maximize the return on their current IT infrastructure without reducing their value to users, accentuated by a downturn in spending for new assets and the growing imperative to accelerate the "real-time enterprise" through a standardized IT environment. According to Gartner, a leading IT research firm, organizations that simplify their IT environments will improve service and lower TCO as much as 30%. SupportSoft's Auto Discovery and Metering solution helps makes this simplification possible by integrating the 3 key elements for effective IT asset management: discovery, inventory and metering.
