Analysis – BDNA Technopedia
BDNA offers a reference catalogue of software and hardware information to help IT Asset Managers make better decisions.
BDNA takes a feed of purchase information, installation information, subscriptions and usage and normalizes data into a consistent language. The recognition process is similar to that seen in traditional SAM tools for identifying the risk in software, but also extends to reconciling procurement and hardware information and has use cases way beyond the ITAM department.
BDNA’s value proposition is that authoritative data allows organizations to be more productive, move faster and be more efficient and secure, by clarifying exactly what they own, use and have purchased using a commonly understood and consistent language. The business is empowered to make more accurate and timely decisions.
