Engagent's Inventory Solutions integrate with Engagent's Domain Management Suite for software publishing, distribution, metering, and remote administration.   Information returned from Engagent's Inventory Solutions can integrate with Engagent License Manager to correlate information about what software you are running to records of software you have purchased.  This information is critical for controlling software costs.  Gartner group estimates that through 2003 enterprises that fail to integrate software usage and inventory data will over-buy licenses for 60 percent of their portfolio. Furthermore, Gartner reports organizations with 500 to 2000 users could save $250,000 to $750,000 annually in license fees.
