easily integrates with existing applications. Serena Asset Manager includes all of the necessary
capabilities to automate asset discovery, tracking, and reporting.
ASSET DISCOVERY
With Serena Asset Manager, you can easily automate the discovery of hardware, software,
and other devices that are connected to your network. Tight integration with the Serena
Configuration Management Database (CMDB) ensures that your incident, problem, change,
and release management processes always leverage up-to-date information on assets. You
can also easily configure rules that determine the inclusion or exclusion of specific software
and hardware information within your Serena CMDB. Operating systems supported include
Windows, UNIX, Linux, HP-UX, Solaris, AIX, Embedded OS, and VMs. The solution also supports
handheld devices, printers, and networking equipment, including Cisco and Juniper Networks,
to name a few.
SOFTWARE TRACKING
Software asset management helps organizations reduce the risk of adverse software audit
results. Serena Asset Manager provides organizations with the ability to keep track of software
licenses for compliance purposes. It collects data from every application found within your
infrastructure, along with the attributes and correlations that you determine to be critical to
your business.

ASSET REPORTING
Serena Asset Manager’s web-based reporting capabilities are designed to scale as your
organization expands across geographies, and as the number of assets that you manage
increases. It helps organizations leverage standard report templates to assess risk, manage
the life-cycle of assets, and track inventory without having to create custom reports. Reports
can be easily exported and shared within your organization. You have complete visibility into
the way your assets are used within your organization. With Serena Asset Manager, you are
equipped to answer tough questions that have financial implications:
• What assets does the company have
• Where are they located
• Who is using these assets
• How are they being utilized
• Is the organization’s software secure from attack
• Can we effectively migrate to a new operating system
• What assets are impacted when we change an application
• How do we effectively return assets at the end of a lease
• What assets are we getting in the merger or acquisition
• Are we compliant with Sarbanes-Oxley and other regulatory requirements
