Free Use of Centennial Discovery(R) Helps Organizations Quickly and Easily Identify and Monitor Software Installations
20th December, USA: The Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA), the principal trade association for the software and digital content industry, today announced that Centennial Software, the fastest growing dedicated provider of network discovery and IT asset tracking solutions, has been awarded Certified Audit Software Provider (CASP) status, certifying that Centennial Software's flagship product, Centennial Discovery, has met its standards for accuracy, reliability, completeness and ease of use for audit results. Additionally, the SIIA is offering a free 30-day trial of Centennial Discovery to help members more effectively identify and manage software installed across their networks.
Centennial Discovery is the only audit tool on the market that ensures fast, comprehensive discovery of all network hardware and software assets, making it easy for firms to measure license compliance, assess software deployment costs and plan for critical IT projects such as OS migrations. The free 30-day trial of Centennial Discovery is available directly from the SIIA Web site at http://www.siia.net/piracy/compliancenetwork/tools.asp. With the free trial, organizations can use Centennial Discovery to conduct audits on up to 25 PCs or workstations.
"Centennial Software passed our audit software provider certification process with flying colors, and we are pleased to add Centennial Discovery to the line-up of audit tools available to our members," said Keith Kupferschmid, SIIA's Vice President of Intellectual Property Policy and Enforcement. "Centennial Discovery is an excellent resource for businesses and organizations that need to monitor and manage their software installations."
"Centennial Software fully supports SIIA's mission to educate businesses and organizations about software management and the importance of using only fully licensed software," said Brant Hubbard, General Manager of Centennial Software LLC. "In addition to quickly determining whether a company's software usage exceeds their licenses held, Centennial Discovery enables organizations to actively manage their software portfolio. It also helps control expenditures by identifying unnecessary purchases or cases where existing licenses can be re-deployed."
