SYNC Pro is a non-intrusive, repository based auto inventory system that dynamically and discreetly audits, tracks and manages IT assets including hardware and sub-components, software and license compliance, all from a central location on the network.

The Objective of SYNC Pro

The objective of SYNC Pro is to facilitate cost effective, accurate, real-time IT asset management that is sustainable throughout the growth of an organisation.

This is achieved through the automated extraction and presentation of useful and accurate management information about all computers connecting to a network via a simple and user-friendly interface.

The deployment of SYNC Pro is the first positive step forward for any organisation in terms of its commitment to corporate governance and has immediate and long term benefits by gaining and maintaining both physical and financial control of an organisations IT infrastructure by unlocking value in areas such as:

Reducing total cost of ownership through automated data collection into a central information hub negating the need for time and resource intensive extractions from individual machines.
Keeping a check on software expenditure by knowing what, where and with whom it is installed, thereby limiting software purchases to only what is required.
Keeping check on storage utilization through accurate reports on usage vs. available capacity thus ensuring optimal capacity management.
Avoiding license compliancy violation exposure by providing accurate installed software information.
Reducing risk of component shrinkage through accurate reports showing missing, added and changed hardware components.
Ensuring financial control as payments for licenses are accurate, the computer assets are incorporated for valuation and depreciated, resulting in an accurate reflection of computer assets in the financial statements.
Providing a scalable cost effective solution that grows with the pace of the company and does not require replacement.
Keeping expensive internet traffic down by providing an audit trail for the monitoring of sites visited by users.
