AUTOMATED DISCOVERY TOOLS

The inventory is wrong the day after it's compiled. Manual discovery can't keep pace with hybrid infrastructure, so every decision built on the CMDB inherits its errors.

Actors

  • CMDB Owner
  • Infrastructure Engineer
  • Head of IT Operations

  • ServiceNow Discovery
  • Lansweeper
  • AWS Config

Business Question

"Our CMDB says four thousand assets, our scanner found five and a half — which number do we bet the audit on?"

What SPoG Does

  • Scans hybrid infrastructure continuously, discovering assets across on-prem, cloud and edge.
  • Updates inventory automatically as things appear, change and retire.
  • Keeps every dependent process — incident, change, compliance — working from reality.
