Miss Marple creates a very large and informative database using the inventoried information together with information found on the hard drives, which then serves as a basis to be aligned with the integrated software catalog in Miss Marple. It is then presented in the form of a consolidated list of all of the software that has actually been detected.

With a single click, these individual applications can now be automatically assimilated into the license management, i.e. transferred to the next stage of the software asset management process. Here, an immediate calculation of the compliance between the information detected and that which is actually used can be carried out.

When acquisition information is added to these licenses, further key data is created. This assures that not only detected and utilized licenses are compared with one another, but that the acquired licenses can be integrated. The combination of these individual factors is then summarized in a license balance.
