  • Independently validate existing inventory data
  • A trusted, de-duplicated inventory of unique assets
  • Evidence-based licence sizing for procurement and finance
The problem

Buying discovery licences blind is expensive.

Enterprise discovery platforms like ServiceNow Discovery and BMC Discovery are licensed by the size of your estate — but few organisations have a trusted, de-duplicated count of unique assets to size them against. Over-buy and you waste budget; under-buy and deployments stall on unexpected licensing constraints.

  • Multiple sources disagree on what you actually have
  • Duplicates and gaps inflate or hide the true count
  • Procurement and finance need defensible numbers
Discovery platforms and CMDBs disagree on the asset count, forcing padded over-buying of licences
The approach

A reconciled inventory you can put a number on.

uControl Insights uses native discovery alongside your existing discovery tools, CMDBs, cloud platforms and infrastructure data to build one reconciled view — independently validating inventory, identifying missed or duplicated assets, and producing a single, accurate count of unique assets to size licences against.

  • Native discovery validates existing inventory data
  • Consolidates discovery tools, CMDBs and infra sources
  • Produces an auditable licensing recommendation
uControl Insights reconciles sources into one de-duplicated, auditable asset count to size the discovery licence
