IT Vision Ltd Profile
“IT Vision have developed Parago®, a new concept in Asset Management, Monitoring and Auditing software. A fully web based system Parago® stores all customer data in a secure hosting centre. Parago® monitors PCs via the internet and an organisations network. System options allow PCs to be scanned as frequently as required in order to alert the administrator of any software or hardware specification changes. This means an organisation is kept up to date on its PC and software estate virtually eliminating time consuming audits. The Parago® Agent is downloaded from the internet avoiding installation costs. There is even a Mobile Bar Coding option to allow storage of all your other assets in one database.”
Asset tracking and inventory management can be an extremely time consuming process as items are often spread across a campus with only manual methods of stock tracking and reconciliation; resulting in incomplete and /or out of date data. As well as ICT hardware, educational assets such as science equipment, musical instruments and media technology all have a high value and need to be tracked throughout their lifetime. Software Licence Control is another topic attracting increased focus with pressures arising from “duty of care” in schools, particularly with the increase in home access initiatives.
Parago provides an affordable and simple tracking system, designed for the Education sector, to remove the manual task of ICT auditing. The Parago database enables a user to emulate their organisation with 3D icons representing buildings, classrooms, individual assets and even people. To augment to central system, Parago Mobile was developed to keep physical track of equipment. Each asset is uniquely identified with a bar code making an inventory audit a simple and straightforward process. The asset details are either uploaded in real time via the wireless connection or when replaced in its’ base station, establishing the link between the web-based Parago database and the Parago Mobile device.
