BigFix 9 Inventory Documentation

Welcome to the BigFix Inventory documentation, where you can find information about how to install, maintain, and use this application. With BigFix Inventory, you can maintain an up-to-date inventory of software assets that are installed in your infrastructure, gather information about your hardware, and ensure license compliance of your enterprise. You always know what software you have, where it is, and how it is used. By monitoring PVU and RVU MAPC consumption under full and subcapacity licensing terms, not only can you understand current license consumption but you can also predict the future one, thus providing the means to optimize your license costs.
