Dynamic IT asset discovery for Oracle® solutions

Centennial Discovery Connector for Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise IT Asset Management solution and Oracle‘s E-Business Suite IT Asset Management solution.

When organizations invest in ERP and IT Asset Management (ITAM) solutions from Oracle, they make a clear choice to work with an industry leader to manage their corporate assets in order to improve their business and IT operations. Similarly, Oracle has chosen to work with Centennial Software, due to our industry leading IT asset inventory and audit capabilities.

Oracle Integration

By dynamically populating Oracle E-Business Suite ITAM and Oracle’s PeopleSoft Enterprise ITAM Solution with up-to-date information on all IT assets (from PCs and servers, through to network printers, switches and even Wi-Fi points), Centennial Discovery can help organizations achieve dramatic cost and risk reductions by achieving complete visibility of the network.

Why dynamic IT asset data is critical to ERP solutions

Most ERP systems utilize fixed asset registers, which typically have not been designed to accommodate IT environments where the installed hardware and software is constantly changing. The ERP system itself usually has no capability to collect data on IT assets from the network, and is often of limited value when looking for ways to improve IT operations or governance. However, by approving Centennial Discovery for use with its ERP solutions, Oracle has changed this and made it easier than ever for customers to introduce effective IT asset management best practices.

Using Centennial Discovery to dynamically populate Oracle E-Business Suite and PeopleSoft ITAM solution with live IT asset information dramatically improves the quality and availability of data within the ERP system, which makes it easier to:

  • Bring IT projects in on time and on budget
  • Complete Software Asset Management (SAM) initiatives
  • Improve IT Asset Management (ITAM) practices

How Oracle Customers Win

  • Reduced cost – total visibility of deployed hardware and software assets helps eliminate  unnecessary IT purchases, reduces downtime and improves productivity
  • Minimized risk – by monitoring assets and comparing audits against known risks, organizations can address both internal and external network security risks as well as legal risks such as software licensing compliance.
  • Improved IT Governance – whether the business driver is compliancy with regulatory mandates such as Sarbanes Oxley, internal audit and process controls, or simply implementation of best practice frameworks like ITIL, knowing exactly what it is on the network is key to successful IT Governance
