A widely-recognized shortfall of many software inventory tools is their utilization of data found within file headers and/or registry entries to perform the complex task of identifying software.  While this "raw" application data provides important clues that aid in software recognition, it's virtually impossible to obtain a reliable view  of installed software without cleansing, classifying, and normalizing that data into a taxonomy that relates to how software is actually licensed. 

The Apptria Software Catalog allows data points collected from discovered executables and registry entries to be mapped to their proper software titles, versions, editions, and manufacturers.

The Apptria Software Catalog enables you to deliver the following features where file header and registry analysis fall dangerously short:

Group and correlate all executable files related to a single application

Normalize variations in application titles, versions, and manufacturers

Differentiate between applications that share a common executable

Correctly identify suites and their installed components
