Codima autoMap™

Maps any Infrastructure or a VoIP network using Microsoft® Office Visio®, plus Discovers and Reports on any software or hardware.

autoMap™ takes data visualization to the next level. It is without doubt the leading system to give visibility and accurate data to network designers. autoMap™ automatically visualizes an entire infrastructure network and discovers and reports on all devices and software installed.
Uniquely autoMap™ generates graphical topology drawings of infrastructure networks, using Microsoft®Office Visio®. Frequently installed it makes it easy to use and deploy autoMap™.

The ability to save drawings and extensive asset information to a web server to be viewed at a web page, further enhances how organizations can benefit from autoMap™.

autoMap™ helps improve planning capabilities and keeping IT budgets on schedule. Data visualization also makes complex and extensive network topology information easy to present to others in graphical presentations, facilitating decision making and analysis.

autoMap™ is able to identify unmanaged sectors of a network, a useful feature for security management.

Auditing and legal requirements are increasing and by providing automated inventory, autoMap™ in combination with autoAsset™ is helpful to auditors and administrators.

autoMap reduces costs, saves time and improves network asset management.

autoMap™ is created with the trademarks of Codima Toolbox, easy-to-use, cost efficient and highly visual.

autoMap™ can be deployed as stand alone or with add on tools autoVoIP™, autoVoIP™ Consultancy Kit, autoAsset™ and autoAnalyzer™ Consultancy Kit.
