Is Decisions® Announces WinReporter® 4.0, a Comprehensive Dashboard for Windows® Systems

Biarritz, France, September 25, 2008 --(PR.com)-- IS Decisions announces availability of version 4.0 of WinReporter, its scan, audit and reporting software solution for Windows systems. In addition to a host of wide-ranging new features, this new version also fully supports Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008.

WinReporter is a software solution enabling rapid assessment, inventory, audit and classification of all Microsoft Windows components (hardware, software, Windows settings, and events).

Using WinReporter, system administrators instantly get an updated and comprehensive vision of their Information System’s status.

Version 4.0 comes with an entirely revamped Graphical User Interface (tabs, expandable treeviews, dockable windows, etc.) allowing you to perform all WinReporter tasks from a single location.

Thanks to its “agentless” architecture, WinReporter installs in a couple of minutes and doesn’t require any deployment.

François Amigorena, IS Decisions’ founder and CEO says that, “WinReporter 4.0 has totally been rebuilt to make SysAdmins’ life easier. Its new latest generation interface (tabs, expandable treeviews, dockable windows, etc.) offers an incredibly intuitive and comfortable user experience”.
