Free Discovery and Inventory Software for Education Sector courtesy of Kaseya IT Stimulus Program

Software saves money and increases productivity for schools, colleges and universities across the UK

Lausanne, Switzerland, 18th November 2009: Kaseya, a leading provider of systems management frameworks, today announced the launch of an IT stimulus program aimed specifically at the education sector.  The program will offer schools, colleges and universities Kaseya’s discovery and inventory software for free, enabling them to track up to 1,000 machines at no cost.  The software will give these institutions the ability to understand their machines, their operating systems and software, and even where they are located, creating a more effective IT management environment.

Kaseya’s discovery and inventory software provides quick access to computer inventory information, scans for all IP-enabled devices and reports the details required to easily manage the network from anywhere. It is part of Kaseya’s reliable and robust IT management solution that is used by Local Education Authorities (LEAs) and individual institutions of all sizes to proactively manage thousands of servers and workstations through one Web-based interface.

Kaseya’s discovery and inventory solution provides comprehensive details about an organisation’s workstations, laptops and servers, to ensure that its assets are used in the most efficient way possible.  The software helps institutions easily find misplaced computers, printers and routers, and gather and analyse software, hardware and operating system data from each asset. Kaseya also tracks all software applications, license keys and duplicate licenses, potentially saving hundreds of pounds in unnecessary purchases. Automated inventory scans help IT administrators understand exactly what is on hand, without having to manually gather the data, freeing up their time to focus on more strategic tasks.

“The dependency of LEAs, schools and other learning centres on IT is increasing dramatically, so effective network and systems management is essential.  Kaseya’s discovery and inventory software allows IT managers to monitor and manage these systems in the most efficient and effective way, freeing them up to concentrate on other mission-critical activities,” said Phil Sansom, VP, Public and Private Sector Sales - EMEA at Kaseya.  “Our IT Stimulus Program has been created with this in mind, allowing education institutions to take advantage of the latest technology, despite the challenging economic climate when many budgets have been cut right back.”

The Free Kaseya IT stimulus program starts on 18th November 2009 and ends on 31st January 2010. For more information about the Kaseya IT stimulus program, please visit http://www.kaseya.co.uk/forms/freesoftware.aspx
