Stop guessing, start knowing. Certero turns complex IT data into clear, reliable insights that drive smarter business decisions.
You’ve probably heard the phrase, “Data is the new oil”, but without refining it, data has little real value. To make smart business decisions, you need clear, accurate insights and that starts with trustworthy data.
Increasingly, IT must be ready to respond to business demands quickly. But for many businesses, data is still spread across outdated systems, hard to access, incomplete and unreliable. Reports take time, scripts must be run, and by the time you get the information, it’s already out of date.
Manually pulling data from different tools slows everything down, increases risk, and wastes valuable time. Even worse, toolsets often aren’t 100% accurate or are overly focussed on limited purposes, making it hard to get to the truth.
Certero solves this by giving you a single source of up-to-date, accurate data, ready whenever you need it and with the most complete levels of detail to serve any purpose you wish. So, you can stop guessing and start making decisions with confidence.
Certero helps businesses harness the power of their BI by fundamentally eliminating the old challenges once and for all, through the unique design philosophy of the Certero Unified Platform. The difference a modern scalable platform makes is huge, when it’s covering ITAM and SAM from mobile to end-user devices, datacentre to cloud:
Instead of multiple data silos, Certero data is consolidated by default, consistent by default, rationalized by default… straight out-of-the-box for IT asset intelligence in one place, a ‘Single Source of the Truth’.
Instead of presenting masses of raw data, Certero can apply intelligence to data, automatically enriching it, removing noise, making sense of it and making it suitable for more complex management tasks, such as automatically recognizing not just what discovered Software is but what commercially licensed Software products are installed and how they need to be managed, truncating a complex part of the SAM process.
Ultimately the User Interface is where you can interrogate and mine data and is critical that you’re able to ‘ask’ the questions you require answers to. Certero’s UI is extremely powerful in its simplicity, it’s consistent across all products on the platform and follows the same logic and flow.
This way a broad spectrum of technical and business users can interrogate any aspect of the data, drill-down for evidence, use data grids, trending charts, customizable dashboards, share views and reports and set proactive alerts, the possibilities to gain deep and critical insights are endless and good data is transformed into meaningful Business Intelligence, obtainable by everyone who needs it.
Not needing to export any data means that Certero is always live and up-to-date whenever you look at it, without having to prompt the solution to manually recalculate, it’s ready for you.
The intent of Certero has always been to not limit you with what you can do with your information. It is not just a SAM solution, or just an ITAM solution or just a Cloud or Datacenter solution.
Your data have value, so if information can be retrieved from an inventory then Certero retrieves it, makes it available for you and supplements it where possible to gain greater insight. This eliminates the need to run scripts or have to supplement data with additional tools. It removes the old guesswork and gaps that plague legacy toolsets and replaces it with greater evidence and value, ready for you whenever you need it.
The depth and completeness of Certero inventory is uniquely powerful, going those extra few steps above and beyond the norm. For example, Certero captures:
SQL – not just databases but clusters, versions, editions, data paths and features like reporting and analysis services, all of which can be licensable.
Exchange Server – editions, mail boxes, mail box size & mail box features to help right-size licensing.
Oracle – not just databases but database options & packs, providing the underlying evidence of how they’re used.
SSL – Security Certificates
As Digital Transformation strategies drive new competitive advantages, the ability to measure and identify possible improvements is key.
Certero prepares you for this journey by simply removing the complexity from achieving good quality data within IT and being able to easily transform data into meaningful insights.
Fundamental data consolidation is the enabler to measurement, easier understanding, refinement and automation. The ways in which you can get ahead of the game with that information is then up to you – be it through pro-active alerting instead of reacting to surprises, or simply the clarity of a defined, measured IT strategy.
Certero enables you to understand your resources and the impacts of events quicker and therefore be more agile and effective in meeting business demand.
