Transform Your SMS Data Into Actionable Information – Quickly & Efficiently
Webinar: Tuesday, December 8th, 2009 Time: 8:30AM PST 11:30AM ESTWalker White, VP of Technology, will discuss and demonstrate how BDNA can take your unscrubbed, incomprehensible, raw SMS data, and transform it into significantly enhanced insightful information that will enable you to make very meaningful business decisions.
Microsoft SMS (SMS) is a powerful solution when it comes to remote control, patch management and software distribution. Many enterprises have substantial investments in the deployment and maintenance of their SMS implementations.
However if you are using SMS to track your software assets, chances are it is difficult and time consuming to interpret, make sense and extract value from the data SMS generates.
From a software perspective, Microsoft SMS likely generates:
- Hundreds of thousands of product titles, in multiple naming conventions.
- Millions of rows of data.
- Thousands of .exe files – some valuable and many not.
BDNA can help you. BDNA’s SMS normalization capabilities, coupled with the BDNA Catalog, can normalize and enrich the discovery data from SMS quickly making it understandable, usable and actionable.
The BDNA Catalog will enhance your SMS investment and deliver real value by:
- Normalizing the data, so that different variants of the same name will be rolled into the same categories.
- Categorizing each product in a taxonomy.
- Adding detailed product lifecycle information, such as release date, end of life date, support status, energy and power consumption information.
The result, BDNA transforms your SMS data to information – information that is relevant and actionable.
