Automated desktop monitor inventory

OneImporter detects connected monitors and captures product names, serial numbers, users and manufacturer warranties

In numerous IT landscapes, the CMDB is limited to central end devices. Workplace peripherals, especially monitors as the primary user interface, are often not recorded or only recorded manually. This leads to incomplete configuration data and complicates incident, change, and replacement processes. Versio.io enables the fully automated integration of these peripheral devices into the CMDB, turning them into consistently manageable configuration elements.

Fully automatic recognition by OneImporter

Versio.io OneImporter closes the gap on the last mile of the end user - the periphery. Installed on the end device, OneImporter detects all connected screens, monitors, or televisions in near real time. The result is fully automated, up-to-date, and detailed information about peripheral devices.

Technical attributes recorded:

Manufacturer (vendor) and product name
Product code and serial number
Date of manufacture
Warranty information (for Dell and Lenovo)

Topology and historicisation: context instead of flat lists

In Versio.io, a monitor is not an isolated object, but rather a component of a dynamic topology. The system automatically establishes a connection between the computer acting as the host and the connected screen.

Using the Topology Viewer, you can immediately see which workstation was last connected to which monitor. As with all entities in Versio.io, monitors are subject to full history tracking.

Centralised reporting: All monitors in one place

Versio.io's real strength lies in data consolidation. Rather than scattered information in local lists, you get a centralised 'single source of truth' for your company's entire display fleet. All recognised monitors are brought together in a clear reporting system, whether they are in home offices, branches or headquarters.

IT managers can filter the global inventory by criteria such as model, age, or warranty expiry at the click of a button. This eliminates the need for manual inventory reporting and provides reliable figures immediately for audits or budget planning.
