Abstract: A method, system, and network providing hardware and software inventorying and monitoring provide the status of a local network of interconnected information technology devices. A user downloads and installs a local network monitoring software program from an online source onto a host computer system. The local network monitoring software system initiates an inventory of all information technology devices associated with said local network of information technology devices. Also, the local network monitoring software determines the operational status of the information technology devices and the status of software programs installed on the information technology devices. The results of the inventory and status determinations are presented to the host computer system. The presented information permits the user of said host computer system to initiate maintenance and support actions for the information technology devices in response to the operational status and status of software programs using the local network monitoring software.

Abstract: An interactive online closed loop marketing system and method for marketing of a technical product or service product to companies and/or users of a plurality of network management systems is provided. A database populated with anonymous aggregate IT asset inventory information, user information, and company information (gathered and aggregated through the network management systems) is queried by a third party to evaluate and analyze the potential market for the technical product or service. The system and method further permit the third party to develop a survey and deliver the survey to users of the network management system via the network management system thereby permitting the third party to further quantify and analyze the potential market opportunity. Additionally, the system and method permit the third party to target advertising for the product or service directly to end users via the network management system while tracking the effectiveness of the advertising campaign.
