Remotely managing enterprise resources

1. A method for managing assets, comprising:

retrieving, from heterogeneous assets in the enterprise network, status information identifying versions of data stored in the heterogeneous assets;

transmitting, by at least one designated device in an enterprise network, the status information to a management system external to the enterprise network using at least one designated interface for the enterprise networks;

receiving, through the at least one designated interface for the enterprise networks, commands to remotely manage the heterogeneous assets in accordance with one or more updates, the commands are instructions to update the data stored in the heterogeneous assets and incompatible with the heterogeneous assets; and

translating the incompatible commands to commands compatible with the heterogeneous assets; and

transmitting the commands compatible to the heterogeneous assets.

2. The method of claim 1 , the commands for the heterogeneous assets are generated in accordance with a single communication protocol.

3. The method of claim 1 , the at least one designated device in the enterprise network generates compatible commands for a plurality of different types of devices.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the incompatible commands and the compatible commands are encoded in different protocols.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting information from the at least one designated device identifying statuses of the heterogeneous assets; and

receiving one or more reports for the heterogeneous assets based, at least in part, on the received information.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

transmitting a selection from the user through an interactive element presented with the one or more viewable reports; and

receiving at least one or more commands for at least one of the heterogeneous assets in response to at least the selection.

7. A system, comprising:

one or more devices configured to:

retrieve, from heterogeneous assets in the enterprise network, status information identifying versions of data stored in the heterogeneous assets;

transmit, by at least one designated device in an enterprise network, the status information to a management system external to the enterprise network using at least one designated interface for the enterprise networks;

receive, through the at least one designated interface for the enterprise networks, commands to remotely manage the heterogeneous assets in accordance with one or more updates, the commands are instructions to update the data stored in the heterogeneous assets and incompatible with the heterogeneous assets; and

translate the incompatible commands to commands compatible with the heterogeneous assets; and

transmit the commands compatible to the heterogeneous assets.

8. The system of claim 7 , the commands for the heterogeneous assets are generated in accordance with a single communication protocol.

9. The system of claim 7 , the at least one designated device in the enterprise network generates compatible commands for a plurality of different types of devices.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the incompatible commands and the compatible commands are encoded in different protocols.

11. The system of claim 7 , the one or more devices further configured to:

transmit information from the at least one designated device identifying statuses of the heterogeneous assets; and

receive one or more reports for the heterogeneous assets based, at least in part, on the received information.

12. The system of claim 11 , the one or more devices further configured to:

transmit a selection from the user through an interactive element presented with the one or more viewable reports; and

receive at least one or more commands for at least one of the heterogeneous assets in response to at least the selection.

13. A computer program product encoded on a non-transitory medium, the product comprising computer readable instructions for causing one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

retrieving, from heterogeneous assets in the enterprise network, status information identifying versions of data stored in the heterogeneous assets;

transmitting, by at least one designated device in an enterprise network, the status information to a management system external to the enterprise network using at least one designated interface for the enterprise networks;

receiving, through the at least one designated interface for the enterprise networks, commands to remotely manage the heterogeneous assets in accordance with one or more updates, the commands are instructions to update the data stored in the heterogeneous assets and incompatible with the heterogeneous assets; and

translating the incompatible commands to commands compatible with the heterogeneous assets; and

transmitting the commands compatible to the heterogeneous assets.

14. The computer program product of claim 13 , the commands for the heterogeneous assets are generated in accordance with a single communication protocol.

15. The computer program product of claim 13 , the at least one designated device in the enterprise network generates compatible commands for a plurality of different types of devices.

16. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the incompatible commands and the compatible commands are encoded in different protocols.

17. The computer program product of claim 13 , the instructions further comprising:

transmitting information from the at least one designated device identifying statuses of the heterogeneous assets; and

receiving one or more reports for the heterogeneous assets based, at least in part, on the received information.

18. The computer program product of claim 17 , the instructions further comprising:

transmitting a selection from the user through an interactive element presented with the one or more viewable reports; and

receiving at least one or more commands for at least one of the heterogeneous assets in response to at least the selection.
