Multiven Unveils Oyster, a Cloud-Based Service That Simplifies IT Network Asset Inventory and Management

ZURICH, September 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Multiven today announced the launch of Oyster, a cloud-based service that simplifies the way organizations inventory and manage all the devices and equipment that make up their IT network. Multiven Oyster gives the IT network a social identity that enables organizations to track the purpose, cost and status of all IT network devices from procurement to decommissioning while fostering organization-wide collaboration across departments and geographies, all in the cloud, with no software to download, install or maintain.

Some of the main features of Multiven Oyster include:

• Device Profiles: Users can create unique profiles for all their IT devices ranging from routers, switches, firewalls, tablets, smartphones and even their software assets, all of which can be followed.
• Device-level Analytics and Reports: Dynamic device statistics are presented in a unified view of analytical data and updates.
• Device QR Codes: Each device gets its own unique QR code that can be printed and placed on the device enabling on-the-go scanning for up-to-date device data.
• Organization-wide collaboration: Multiven Oyster enables cross-functional collaboration between procurement, engineering, operations and all other IT stakeholders within an organization.

"With Multiven Oyster, IT network devices now have their own unique social identity that provides stakeholders with real-time insight into the purpose, cost and status of each device from procurement to de-commissioning and ultimately to residual monetization," stated Peter Alfred-Adekeye, Multiven Founder & CEO. "In the coming months, we will continue to enhance the Oyster platform to further enhance device-to-people and device-to-device collaboration."

Multiven Oyster is free for up to 50 devices and is now available worldwide. To get started, users can sign up at http://www.multiven.com with their work email address. Once logged into the Multiven Oyster dashboard, users can begin to add and update assets while inviting colleagues to collaborate.
