SolarWinds announced new improvements to its web-based IT help desk and asset management solution, SolarWinds Web Help Desk.

SolarWinds Web Help Desk streamlines dynamic help desk ticketing through each request's life cycle, helping to simplify and automate complex help desk environments.

Now with automatic asset discovery, IT pros can keep IT inventory current by scheduling automated discovery of all hardware and software assets and information including hostname, model, serial number, logged-in user, operating system, hard drive, memory, and installed software.

In addition, SolarWinds Web Help Desk now supports integration with SolarWinds network and systems management software including SolarWinds Network Performance Monitor, SolarWinds Server & Application Monitor and SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager.

This new SolarWinds integration feature allows IT pros to import asset information populated by SolarWinds' software into SolarWinds Web Help Desk, and convert and configure network device, server and critical application performance alerts directly into trouble tickets in SolarWinds Web Help Desk.
