DENIS and a spreadsheet or CMDB
A spreadsheet or a configuration database knows what someone remembered to write down. DENIS finds out what is actually on the network and keeps an editable asset register next to it.
What a spreadsheet or CMDB is good at
Holding what the organisation decides to track, including contracts, licences and assets with no network presence.
What DENIS adds
An asset register that stays current by itself. An unknown device appears at once in a review queue, and you add what only people know: owner, location, serial number, warranty and criticality, with a full history.
For the technical team
CSV import and export, and read-only cross-reference with Entra ID, Intune, Active Directory, Jamf, Azure, AWS and Google Cloud.
Good to know
DENIS is not a full CMDB: it does not track software licences, contracts or assets with no network presence.
