Enterprises are at an inflection point. Rapid and extensive tech adoption has resulted in data silos, redundancies, and wasted resources, not to mention unnecessarily high tech spending.
How can organizations get a better handle on a tech portfolio that’s imperative for future success?
Many rely on software catalogs, but these traditional catalogs leave a lot to be desired. They either only cover a portion of the tech landscape, only reflect manual effort, or are only used by IT teams. Without absolute visibility into your solutions, complex tech ecosystems will continue to be roadblocks for organizations that have worked so hard to modernize and digitize their operations.
When organizations invest in Entrio, they gain access to the Live Solutions Catalog, a living, evolving hub with full insight into the technology available across the global marketplace and already in use in the organization.

Entrio catalogs software (both on-prem and cloud), open source, market data, hardware, and IT professional services, while other options only give you intel on software and hardware or even just SaaS. We provide a holistic view of your entire tech porfolio so you can make the most informed decisions possible.
With Entrio’s platform, every team member, from IT professionals to decision-makers in various departments, can easily access and understand the current state of your technology landscape. This accessibility fosters better collaboration and alignment across the organization, ensuring that everyone is on the same page when it comes to technology use and procurement.

The Catalog allows users to search by solutions, vendors, categories, capabilities, and features. You can search your existing solutions or any option available on the market globally. The Entrio platform delivers highly relevant results that promote the reuse of your existing solutions and alternatives that meet your specific requirements and are used by peers.

It’s crucial your tech intel is responsive to changes in the industry.
