What if your data is incomplete or inaccurate? How can Blazent create a trustworthy inventory of IT assets under these circumstances? Isn’t it true that “Garbage in – Garbage out?”

Not in the case of Blazent. While it’s true that generally in computer science, “garbage in” also means “garbage out,”  Blazent software was designed to take garbage in and produce gold.  While each source the software uses is missing many fields, the end result is complete and accurate.

Blazent was founded on the following core beliefs:
* Your data will never be perfect.
* You have all the data you will need, however, it is spread across many data sources.

Blazent aggregates, cleanses, and reconciles multiple sources of IT and financial data to deliver a single, reliable, and trustworthy inventory of IT assets. Blazent addresses the issue of incomplete and inaccurate data by tracking and resolving conflicts on every field between data sources. It checks each source against all others to ensure data from multiple sources is cleansed and normalized. Blazent then applies sophisticated logic to take the best data from each source, and then synthesizes this into an accurate and complete asset record.

Blazent takes the best from each data source and creates a trusted, golden record and inventory.  Blazent then drives this trusted inventory back into your source systems.

This means that as a Blazent customer, there’s absolutely nothing you need to do before starting to use Blazent. Blazent leverages your existing operational and financial data to build a trusted view of your environment. There are no new agents to install and maintain, and no intrusive system scans to run. You already have everything Blazent needs.

When you use Blazent, the old adage “Garbage in, Garbage out” simply does not apply. What does apply is “Garbage in, Gold out.”
