This partnership agreement is the direct result of six months’ comparative product evaluation and exhaustive testing by Compusys plc and will enable the organisation to expand its existing portfolio of industry leading technology solutions.
“We chose to partner with Centennial Software because we are totally satisfied that Centennial Discovery is one of the best and easiest ways that organisations can avoid the costly pitfalls associated with poor network visibility,” stated Gordon Davies, Commercial Director at Compusys.
Davies continued: “Any organisation without a complete audit of its IT assets risks significantly increased operational costs. We have identified a number of organisations where this has totalled hundreds of thousands of pounds. The situation is often compounded by hidden network vulnerabilities that can be both commercial and operationally damaging. The most vulnerable organisations are those where the IT department is constantly being asked to prioritise new business delivery demands by the business managers at the expense of timely and effective existing asset and network management.”
Centennial Discovery can help significantly reduce operating costs for organisations of any size by helping to simplify investment in their infrastructure including identifying:
- Installations of software products and other network devices and peripherals no longer in use.
- Hardware manufacturer, model and serial number, processor configuration and even which memory slots are populated on the motherboard - without the need for physical checking.
- Software downloaded from the Internet, which may compromise the security and integrity of the network.
- Software installed by employees for personal use, which may not be licensed and also make the network and the organisation vulnerable to potentially damaging incidents and costly claims.
- Software licence compliance issues, i.e. not enough licences or too many licenses. In many large organisations, licence rationalisation savings are often larger than anyone ever predicted.
Andy Burton, chief executive of Centennial Software added: “We are delighted to have signed a partnership agreement with Compusys and will work closely with them to ensure joint success. Compusys has a superb reputation for excellence and we view this partnership as a perfect business fit.”
Davies concluded: “It is refreshing to see Centennials’ ongoing commitment to product and service delivery. Vendors often make claims about the value of their products; but under rigorous testing conditions and in situ with customers, Centennial Discovery has performed with distinction every time.” |
