Why Enrich Software Inventory in UCMDB?
Raw software inventory data is often:
This makes it difficult to drive accurate reporting, compliance, and lifecycle decisions.
Although the UCMDB comes with an Out-of-the-box normalization and enrichment engine (i.e., the SAI engine), its scope and coverage are limited.
RevealIT Data Enricher Express addresses this gap with high-quality normalization directly within UCMDB.
Introducing RevealIT Data Enricher Express
Data Enricher Express is a lightweight, rule-based version of the AI-powered Data Enricher platform and is natively integrated with the UCMDB.
It delivers accurate, catalog-driven software normalization and enrichment fast.
The RevealIT Data Enricher Express solution is packaged as a native UCMDB adapter and can be deployed in seconds through the UCMDB UI on an existing UCMDB implementation, with no additional infrastructure required.
Enriched content
Data Enricher Express also enriches the inventory data by adding metadata for software titles where available
Currently, the following metadata is supported:
| Metadata | Description |
|---|---|
|
UNSPSC code |
A standard categorization for software titles |
| Software License Type | categorization into commercial and non-commercial software. This helps organizations prioritize effort when analyzing inventory data |
| Software Lifecycle Information | Information about end-of-life dates that is critical for technology refresh decision-making and budgeting |
| Open Source Package Information | Information describing open-source titles. Useful for governance purposes, as it may expose policy violations or compliance risks |
