Introducing Datto RMM Software Asset Tracker: Simplifying IT Management With AI-Driven Precision

Managing software across multiple devices can be overwhelming for IT professionals. Outdated applications, compliance risks and inefficiencies often bog down IT teams, making effective software management a top priority. Say hello to the Datto RMM Software Asset Tracker in IT Glue, a game-changing AI-driven feature that makes tracking and managing software easier, boosts compliance and helps you optimize resources like never before.

The power behind Datto RMM Software Asset Tracker

The Datto RMM Software Asset Tracker features two components driven by Cooper Copilot, IT Glue’s AI engine:

• Smart Relate Datto RMM Application to Device:Automates the documentation of asset relationships, allowing you to link, view and interact with any assets connected to the one you’re currently working on — all within the same pane in IT Glue.
• Smart Create Datto RMM Flexible Asset Software Tracker:Uses AI to intelligently organize and summarize IT information. By leveraging flexible asset templates, it brings together critical data already documented in IT Glue, giving you a clear, actionable overview of your IT environment.

When applied to the Datto RMM Software Asset Tracker, these features make troubleshooting and device management seamless. With Smart Relate, IT teams can automatically link devices to the software they’re running, making it simple to identify outdated or missing applications. For example, from a single device view, you can see exactly which software versions are installed and instantly pinpoint any gaps. This ensures every device’s software, from productivity tools to security programs, is up to date and accounted for.

Using Smart Create, IT professionals can generate detailed lists of installed applications, offering a clear snapshot of each device’s software setup. This comes in handy for everything from routine maintenance to full device recovery, giving teams confidence that nothing is overlooked.

Compliance and security enforcement

Unauthorized or outdated software can compromise compliance and security, leaving IT teams scrambling to mitigate risks. The Datto RMM Software Asset Tracker automates the process of spotting unauthorized installations or redundant applications, allowing teams to enforce organizational policies with ease.

The feature’s global overview highlights compliance risks by pinpointing devices with outdated security applications or missing software altogether. By ensuring that all devices meet security standards, IT teams can protect users, devices and networks more effectively.

Resource optimization and cost efficiency: Get more from your budget

Software licenses can be a sneaky drain on your IT budget. Overpaying for unused licenses or deploying software where it’s not needed can add up quickly, leaving teams scrambling to manage costs. That’s where the Datto RMM Software Asset Tracker steps in.

With Smart Relate and auto-related devices to software assets, devices are automatically linked to their associated software assets, giving IT teams a complete, real-time view of software usage across all devices and departments. Whether you’re looking at the flexible asset view for a high-level overview or diving into detailed configuration reports, you can easily identify inefficiencies like underutilized licenses or unnecessary deployments.

For example, if a paid software license is sitting idle on multiple devices, the Datto RMM Software Asset Tracker makes it simple to spot and reallocate those licenses to users or departments that truly need them. This eliminates waste while ensuring that your software investments are working as hard as your team does.

In addition, this feature makes it easier to compare actual software usage to licensing agreements, highlighting opportunities to cut costs or shift resources to higher-priority areas. By automating device-to-software associations and providing clear insights into utilization, it removes the manual guesswork from license management and helps you make smarter decisions.

Auditing and reporting: Comprehensive insights at your fingertips

For IT teams, maintaining accurate records of software usage is essential for audits and informed decision-making. With IT Glue’s export functionality and the new Datto RMM Software Asset Tracker, you can seamlessly generate detailed reports that provide a global view of software deployments, helping teams identify how many devices are running specific applications.

Whether preparing for compliance audits, security evaluations or budget planning, this feature offers the insights IT professionals need to stay ahead. With automated tracking powered by Cooper Copilot Smart Relate, keeping software inventory accurate and audit-ready has never been easier.
