Podcast Episode 31: Inventory & Discovery
In this Podcast, I am joined by Mathias Knops, Head of Product Management at Aspera to discuss his experience and recommendations regarding Inventory and Discovery.
Since the Aspera solution – SmartTrack, does not feature an Inventory or Discovery element, I was keen to pick his brains on this.
Podcast Topics:
- About Mathias
- Aspera SmartTrack
- The shopping list for Inventory & Discovery
- Process for determining if customers have the right scope
- How to be successful in terms of usage with SmartTrack
- Open source discovery tools
- The difference between Inventory & Discovery
- RFI / RFP process
