In today’s world, remote work is the norm, not the exception. However, this flexibility often comes with increased risks, especially in hardware management. Unauthorized hardware alterations by malicious insiders are a stark reality, particularly in environments lacking robust IT infrastructure like Active Directory or predefined device allocations. Tracking devices through cloud-based software can be a daunting task when devices aren’t assigned explicitly by hostname.
At Bigs Bilişim, we recognized these challenges within our own operations and decided to develop an internal solution. That’s how Bigs Collector was born. Initially created to streamline our hardware inventory management, we quickly realized that many other companies faced similar remote workforce challenges.
What is Bigs Collector?
Bigs Collector is a web-based application designed as a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution to simplify remote hardware inventory management. It works by collecting hardware inventory data from remote devices via a simple script and transmitting this information to our secure servers. Once the data is uploaded, it’s meticulously recorded and monitored. Key information such as last internet connection time, hardware details, IP addresses, and installed software lists are tracked continuously.
Key Features:
Real-Time Hardware Change Detection: Bigs Collector instantly detects any changes in key hardware components like RAM, Disk, CPU, and Motherboard. Any alteration triggers an alarm in the system, alerting administrators to potential unauthorized modifications.
– Maintenance and Repair Cost Tracking: The application matches repair and maintenance costs with client devices, enabling comprehensive tracking of total ownership costs.
– Data Export: Users can export detailed inventory reports in Excel format, either in bulk or segmented according to specific criteria.
Why Choose Bigs Collector?
Bigs Collector not only enhances security by monitoring hardware modifications but also helps in reducing overall IT management costs. Its intuitive design and powerful features make it an essential tool for any organization managing remote workers’ hardware.
