Inventory Insights

1E Inventory Insights captures accurate, timely inventory and enriches it with insight by normalizing software records into a standard vendor, product, and version format. This gives IT teams advanced analysis to make better decisions. Inventory Insights uses data from the Catalog to uniquely identify software products deployed in your estate and apply auto-fill entitlement information using software SKU.

Inventory Insights provides the following:

  • Normalized inventory: Consolidates and normalizes your software inventory into a consistent vendor, product, and version schema so you can get a clear view on what’s out there. Understand software usage, such as which devices have the most titles installed and what versions they are.
  • Unmatched Software: A list of software that wasn't automatically normalized by the 1E Catalog. You can create custom rules to standardize them.
  • Source Inventory: A flat list of every software title in your organization.
