Instant Audit / Complete Transparency

What runs as root or Administrator? What runs on this server? If this network fails, what do we need to move and restart? All of these can be hard and exceptionally time-consuming to answer -- adding time/cost to the audit process and delay/complexity when recovering from disaster.

Too Many Solutions

If your shop is like most, there are programs, scripts and all kinds of other things scattered all over. It's hard to even know what is there let alone dig into the script or code and see what it does. 

Automation to the Rescue

This is one of the reasons why a good automation tool is a must.  Consolidating it all into one place is a great first step to reducing complexity.

Instant Audit

Because the automation tool knows what has/will run and where, what accounts are used, etc., all the data is right there or at least can be intelligently predicted.

Our solution is to organize it so you can click literally everywhere and generate a report specific to what you have clicked on.  So, instead of producing a set of canned reports where we try and predict what you want, we take the approach of making everything completely ad-hoc so you can get your job done your way.

Knowing specifically what has/will run, getting to the detail quickly, scrolling backward and forward in time, and leveraging the self-documenting nature of the system, allows you to quickly get to the heart of things.  And that translates into less time, less money and greater accuracy and transparency.
