Key Benefits From an Accurate and Normalized IT Asset Database
Data Intelligence Service by the Numbers
Our software catalog/database grows significantly on a monthly, weekly and even daily basis. The service also provides continued license intelligence updates to ensure compliance with new vendor licensing rules.
Comprehensive Software Recognition and Data Normalization
Snow has a patent-pending approach to software recognition and data normalization. The Data Intelligence Service (DIS) receives daily updates from a community of over 3,000 customers that details new applications and manufacturers identified using our wide array of discovery methods. It is the largest recognition database in the world.
The Snow Data Intelligence Service provides complete normalization and enrichment, clearly identifying important information as shown in the table below.
| • License requirements and license metric | • Cloud applications and subscriptions | • Release date |
| • Manufacturer | • URL | • End-of-life date |
| • Application name, edition and version | • Upgrade/Downgrade options | • End of support and extended support date |
| • Suited or bundled applications | • UNSPC | • Open source |
| • SKU, version, and edition | • PII | • Operating system |
| • Family | • Malware |
We chose the Snow SAM solution because it covers all our functionality requests, from the DIS to the management of both installed and web browser software, without compromising data privacy. For the first time, if the operating companies agreed to take up the service, we could gain clear visibility of software across the entire estate.
