Using ManageEngine to Master your Business

By Todd Domingo


Your business is a complex monster, and at some point you will need to bring it down to size. Many parts of your business will require an intimate understanding. What you do need to understand however is that there is a substantial IT side, and when properly applied, it can help to reign everything in. Here is where the manageengine software becomes important. This software will help to analyze the different parts of your business and help you to run it properly.

It is true that most businesses view IT as an asset, but some of the key values are only shown in a limited view. For example, networks, storage, servers, and applications are shown and managed in Silo'd management tools which simply are not up to the job. Better understanding will come with integrated IT monitoring systems.

In the end, you will be able to see your entire IT landscape at once. IT is very important -- more important than most people have come to realize. You need to provide all of your employees with working computers, and with that being the case, they all need to be on the same page with their operating systems. Integrated IT management can certainly address this problem!

Have you taken a look at inventory management? Integration of all your systems is something that ManageEngine can handle. There are many reasons to use inventory management. For instance, a good program will track your stock for you, and it will re-order items when they become low. While this is very important, it is only a small piece of the IT puzzle.

With oputils and other pieces of management software you will be able to deploy new security devices, manage patches, keep track of changes, and ensure compliance rules are obeyed. While control will be granted by the software, Oputils will afford even greater abilities.

To start, you can manage your IP addresses with Oputils. You can actually map ports to their physical locations, which is an important feature.

On the side of security, you will be able to identify rogue devices before they actually enter the network. In an area with sensitive information, this is an absolute must. There are a lot of other network tools available, including those for monitoring bandwidth. Complete control over your network is within reach!

Using software like this isn't a requirement, of course. Why would you want to monitor everything manually? With this sort of software you will have a full view of your company, and control you never even imagined. You will work more efficiently, and save money. In the end, it will be worth it.
