One of the best ways to judge the strength and maturity of an asset management product is to examine its reporting capabilities. The multiplicity of ways that K2’s management data can be viewed, exported, and integrated with other IT asset, procurement, and help-desk tools provides the necessary flexibility to support both your immediate goals and future requirements.

Exhaustive Audit & Usage Reporting You can run reports on individual computers, groups of computers, or your entire enterprise. If you have classified your computers into Divisions to match your organizational structure, then special Division Reports will reflect this structure - sorting and restrictions based on divisions will be available in all reports. Interactive Reporting & Configuration Click on a list window to run reports for all items in the window, click on an item to run reports for that single entity, click on Divisions or Filters or folders to run reports for the items in them. Then select a line in the resulting report and click to run other reports relevant to the selected line. Every summary report has drill-down capabilities. Internal reports include live links from each reported item directly to K2’s configuration console so you can instantly inspect and reconfigure management options when necessary. “We love K2 KeyServer. The way we are able to manipulate data to discover usage patterns is awesome.” · Kyle Barber, University of California
