Insights

The Insights module offers PowerBI reports for the Inventory Dashboard, Product Lifecycle Dashboard, and Software Version Dashboard. The Inventory Dashboard provides you with an overview of your assets, their locations, and the agreed-upon SLA for each asset. It enables you to drill down into service level details, site ID information, and product age.

The Product Lifecycle Dashboard displays the projected out-of-service dates for assets, also known as LDoS (Last Date of Support). It offers a breakdown of affected assets across various product families. Additionally, the Product Lifecycle Dashboard includes a migration overview that presents optimal replacement options for current assets along with their prices.

The Software Version Dashboard showcases the software version running on each asset, including a breakdown based on the asset’s product family. This feature allows you to compare your assets’ software versions with Conscia’s recommendations, ensuring your software remains up to date. The Dashboard often plays a pivotal role in driving automation and provisioning strategies and can be utilized to document software alignment progress
