Abstract

The present disclosure is directed to a system and method for remotely managing enterprise resources. In some implementations, a method includes remotely receiving information associated with heterogeneous assets in an enterprise network. Transactions for remotely managing the heterogeneous assets are generated in response to at least the information. The management transactions are stored remote from the enterprise network until a request for the management transactions is received from the enterprise network. The management transactions are transmitted to the enterprise network using a single interface.

Claims (38)

1. A computer-implemented method for managing assets, comprising:

remotely receiving information associated with heterogeneous assets in an enterprise network;

generating transactions for remotely managing the heterogeneous assets in response to at least the information;

storing the management transactions remote from the enterprise network until a request for the management transactions is received from the enterprise network; and

transmitting the management transactions to a single device in the enterprise network using a single interface, the single device in the enterprise network configured to translate the management transactions to forms compatible with the heterogeneous assets.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the management transactions for the heterogeneous assets is transmitted using only a single communication protocol.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the heterogeneous assets execute commands foreign to the other heterogeneous assets.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein generating management transactions comprises:

identifying at least one identifier for a native command for each of the heterogeneous assets; and

generating the management transactions using the at least one identifier for each of the heterogeneous assets.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating reports associated with the heterogeneous assets based, at least in part, on the received information; and

presenting at least one of the reports to a user.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5 , further comprising:

receiving a selection from the user in response to at least the presented reports; and automatically generating at least one of the management transactions in accordance with the selection.

7. A system for tracking enterprise expenses, comprising:

memory configured to store associated with heterogeneous assets; and

one or more processors configured to:

remotely receive information associated with heterogeneous assets in an enterprise network;

generate transactions for remotely managing the heterogeneous assets in response to at least the information;

store the management transactions remote from the enterprise network until a request for the management transactions is received from the enterprise network; and

transmit the management transactions to a single device in the enterprise network using a single interface, the single device in the enterprise network configured to translate the management transactions to forms compatible with the heterogeneous assets.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the management transactions for the heterogeneous assets is transmitted using only a single communication protocol.

9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the heterogeneous assets execute commands foreign to the other heterogeneous assets.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the system configured to generate management transactions comprises the system configured to:

identify at least one identifier for a native command for each of the heterogeneous assets; and

generate the management transactions using the at least one identifier for each of the heterogeneous assets.

11. The system of claim 7 , further configured to:

generate reports associated with the heterogeneous assets based, at least in part, on the received information; and

present at least one of the reports to a user.

12. The system of claim 11 , further configured to:

receive a selection from the user in response to at least the presented reports; and

automatically generate at least one of the management transactions in accordance with the selection.

13. A system embedded in a computer readable storage for managing assets, comprising:

a means for remotely receiving information associated with heterogeneous assets in an enterprise network;

a means for generating transactions for remotely managing the heterogeneous assets in response to at least the information;

a means for storing the management transactions remote from the enterprise network until a request for the management transactions is received from the enterprise network; and

a means for transmitting the management transactions to a single device in the enterprise network using a single interface, the single device in the enterprise network configured to translate the management transactions to forms compatible with the heterogeneous assets.
