In-Depth Information
Asset Intelligence reports are divided into three main areas: hardware, license, and soft-
ware. Asset Intelligence presents a picture of how software is used in your environment, for
example, by finding which systems cannot upgrade a software package and finding installed
software that is not being used.
Table 6-6 lists some of the Asset Intelligence reports.
