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 provides a great asset to businesses, but some of the most important parts are difficult to see. For example, networks, storage, servers, and applications are shown and managed in Silo'd management tools which simply are not up to the job. With integrated IT however, managers will be able to better understand their system, and of course respond to various IT driven events.

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 considered inventory management? Integration of all your systems is something that ManageEngine can handle. Inventory management will help you with a number of different items. For instance, a good program will track your stock for you, and it will re-order items when they become low. This, while very important, is just a small part of the 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.

Using Oputils, you can manage your IP addresses, and deal with your IP space. You can even work to map ports to their physical location -- which is an important function in any IT environment.

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. You do have the option of monitoring everything manually, but the question is why you would want to. You will quickly gain more control with good management software -- control you never even anticipated. You will work more efficiently, and save money. In the end, it will be worth it.
