A network manager is conducting an inventory update for a large organization. They need a strategy that provides the best method for maintaining an accurate record of the company's network assets, including both hardware and software. Considering the need for ongoing updates and accountability, which of the following would be the most effective approach?
Implementing automated inventory management software is the most effective solution because it can automatically discover, catalog, and update records for both hardware and software assets in real time. Automation minimizes human error, supports detailed reporting for compliance and auditing, and scales easily as the organization grows. In contrast, manual logs are time-consuming and error-prone, spreadsheets lack real-time visibility and version control, and stand-alone barcode labels only provide physical identification without integrated lifecycle or warranty tracking.
