Flow of Data in netTerrain

The Problem :

IT inventory information is typically maintained in unconnected files and other data sources scattered around the enterprise. Such as spreadsheets, legacy databases, service desk, network and asset management systems, even notes or employee knowledge.

A lack of a usable and centralized repository of asset information has a devastating effect on the bottom line:

• Difficulty in troubleshooting leading to excessive repair times.
• Provisioning decisions and implementation take too long.
• Assets are scattered and unaccounted for, resulting in unnecessary purchases.
• Bandwidth is misallocated and circuit use isn’t maximized.

In short, total cost of ownership soars because you can’t manage a system you don’t understand!
