Openwave, which provides software and services for more than 70 mobile operators, more than 50 handset manufacturers, and 22 broadband suppliers worldwide, struggled to track and update its hardware and software assets. Despite yearly inventories and hours of labor, the company's asset records weren't accurate enough to satisfy financial audit requirements. Openwave also spent hundreds of hours each year manually updating its software. After evaluating options to automate these tasks, Openwave chose the Autonomic Network and System Administration (ANSA) asset and update management solution built on the Microsoft .NET Framework.
