This page provides information about how Lansweeper normalizes software data, and where you can find the data in Lansweeper.
In IT, OT, and IoT asset management, consistent and accurate data is essential for effective monitoring and reporting. Lansweeper Sites’s normalization feature addresses any potential inconsistencies by standardizing software data across the platform. This ensures consistent information, regardless of the source, enhancing the value of your asset inventory.
Using machine learning, Lansweeper Sites normalizes software names, publishers and version numbers. For instance, where a Google software product may have its publisher listed as "Google LLC" or the older "Google Inc" in Add/Remove Programs, Lansweeper Sites will normalize all of these publisher names to "Google".
