IT-Pedia Reviews & Product Details

Eracent has 25 years of experience providing the highest quality foundational data and reporting for IT Asset Management (ITAM), Software Asset Management (SAM), IT Service Management (ITSM), and Cybersecurity initiatives since 2000. IT-Pedia® is a curated, comprehensive library that provides a single, easy-to-use source of detailed information about current and legacy IT products of all types, including hardware, software, IoT and mobile devices, open source software, and network, telecom and environmental equipment. The continuously updated library helps streamline and automate the process of creating, populating and updating CMDBs and service catalogs, procurement systems, asset repositories, SAM tools, and other systems. It can also be used to support product refresh cycles and IT security initiatives. IT-Pedia contains non-discoverable information about millions of enterprise products and the myriad of versions, packages, and variations in which they are offered. Each unique product record is comprised of detailed attributes that are essential during the IT planning, budgeting, purchasing and maintenance phases. These attributes include (but are not limited to): • Hardware makes and models • Software versions, license types and programs • Vendor-provided naming conventions and product descriptions • Manufacturer and reseller product codes, SKUs and UNSPC classification data • Physical dimensions, weight, power utilization, and other characteristics • Product End-of-Life and End-of-Support dates (licensed separately) • Hardware and Software Vulnerability data (licensed separately) • Open source library and component details for security, obsolescence and license risk management • Vendor details, and much more. Why is IT-Pedia essential? • The “enrichment” data that the library provides is typically not available via discovery tools • The information in procurement records is often incomplete and inconsistent • Gathering product attributes and end-of-life data requires a huge amount of manual effort and searching of many sources • IT-Pedia's data normalization ensures consistency and gets all of your systems speaking the same language. IT-Pedia is available as a subscription service. If another vendor has given you sticker shock with Technopedia but you need the data, try a free trial of IT-Pedia!
