IT Outsource providers are data rich but information poor, especially with regards to the IT assets they are managing. In most accounts, an IT Outsourcer has dozens of documented and undocumented asset repositories, all with a slightly different perspective on the IT infrastructure. All of this data can be valuable, but the challenge is that the data is fragmented, non-normalized and often inaccurate. Even with accurate data, individual sources provide only partial, incomplete glimpses of the overall environment.

To get complete visibility and enable effective IT asset management, you must take the best data from each source and bring it together. Once that’s done, you need comprehensive analytics to gain an understanding of the cleansed data.

That’s what Blazent delivers with the Blazent Intelligence Platform, a technology proven in some of the most challenging environments in the industry.

At its core is the Blazent Determination Engine (BDE). The BDE integrates, cleanses, and reconciles multiple sources of IT asset data to deliver a single, reliable and trustworthy inventory of IT assets. The BDE does this by taking the best data from each source and synthesizing an accurate and complete Golden Asset Record in a high performance data mart.

The Blazent Analytics Engine (BAE) leverages the BDE to deliver visibility into the thousands of assets being managed. The BAE has multiple out-of-the-box reports and solutions to address issues faced by IT Outsourcers. At the same time, users have the ability to customize the packaged reports or create new ones.

Ultimately the visibility delivered by the Blazent Intelligence Platform drives more effective IT asset management. This helps ITO’s optimize spending, enhance revenues, and become a pro-active innovator and partner with the client.
