Engagement detection
Building on continuous software utilization monitoring, the SMA workstation agent also provides vital details of user engagement. You will realize when applications are idle, active and documentation of each page viewed plus time spent viewing each page enables a deep analysis of user engagement. When applications are idle or with few page views may indicate where user training is needed or simply where software licenses are being activated without benefit.

Inventory Audit Baseline
Daily workstation inventory updates provide an overview of both your software and hardware installations. Details include all installed software including operating system version.

Metrics per department, region, merger, acquistion, other
SMA utilizies Microsoft® SQL Server and can be configured to create separate databases for different segments within your organization. We call them Entities and each can be later combined or separated as needed. By providing the option to silo your workstation activity you can easily group by any requirement, for instance, by cost center, department, geographic location, merger and acquisition organizations and more. There is no limit to the number of Entities that can be designated to help you logically arrange your data collection, reporting and more.
Utilization Intelligence
Useful for product suites as well as standalone applications, SMA provides the ability to normalize software into categories that can then be used to report application usage by application product name and version. When using software categories, Utilization Intelligence reporting will automatically summarize each component (i.e. application name) used, unique page titles average per usage, average active time, average idle time as well as the overall number of usages by workstation and user.
