CIOs can now access vital information about their entire IT estate, thanks to the Intelligent Audit service from Esteem Systems. The new service provides a comprehensive audit and analysis of everything accessing a corporate network including PCs, laptops, servers and software in order to cut over-spending, improve compliancy and simplify IT management.

Alastair Kitching, Chief Operating Officer at Esteem Systems, comments, “Most organisations have complex IT infrastructures which have evolved over a period of time and are now difficult to manage and control. With a clear view of what IT assets an organisation has and how they are being used, organisations can achieve substantial financial savings and avoid security, compliancy and productivity issues. With our Intelligent Audit service we can give complete visibility of all IT activity and provide technical stability and reassurance.”

The Intelligent Audit service from Esteem typically collects data over a 30-day period to identify all IT assets and configurations while, at the same time, examining software licensing and analysing a company’s carbon footprint. Intelligent Audit makes recommendations to help organisations consolidate services, optimise software procurement and participate in responsible purchasing practices that will reduce carbon emissions and lower energy consumption.

“Rapid ROI is a major consideration for any CIO or IT manager and by offering our audit software as a service, we can ensure that our customers get the most out of their investment with rapid, meaningful results that benefit their business,” continues Kitching.

Understanding the entire IT estate reduces expenditure as organisations can make informed choices and deploy a continued programme of cost reduction and asset management. Users can access their Intelligent Audit results through Esteem’s online portal, which provides detailed reports and recommendations for each individual organisation.

Intelligent Audit is available on a software as a service basis providing either a view of the network at a single point in time, or over a prolonged period, allowing organisations to track and monitor their IT network on an ongoing basis.

The service is already being used by FTSE 100 companies in the construction and finance industries and by major local government organisations.
