With its Application Recognition and Stock Keeping Unit libraries, and support for many complex license models, FlexNet Manager Platform automates the identification of software titles, versions and editions, and accurately reconciles software inventory and purchases. The Platform also delivers robust contract management capabilities including document management, email alerts and contract scoping. Its common Dashboard provides comprehensive reporting capabilities that allow users to identify and evaluate areas of license compliance concern and make informed decisions to reduce software license and maintenance costs. Oracle Discovery, Inventory & License Management The Platform incorporates discovery, inventory and license management capabilities for Oracle database and E-business Suite products. Oracle deployment and usage information from FlexNet Manager Platform has been verified by Oracle as being “detailed and accurate”, and will be accepted by Oracle License Management Services (LMS) during a license audit. The Platform has extensive support for complex license models, including Oracle’s processor-core and named user plus (NUP) models. It automatically calculates the core factor points for Oracle processor licenses based on the hardware inventory data, and calculates NUP user minimums per core. Integration with Existing IT Systems The Platform seamlessly integrates with many other Inventory, Procurement, Enterprise Resource Planning and Human Resources systems to collect the necessary inventory, purchase order, user, computer and organizational data. It provides out-of-the-box integration with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) for inventory and application usage (metering) data, for example.
