Cross-enterprise IT information sharing platform

摘要

Scan information is obtained from a scan of a managed endpoint (e.g., a user workstation) in an enterprise environment. The scan information includes information about an endpoint object (e.g., a software program), on the managed endpoint. External information about the endpoint object is received from an information source outside of the enterprise environment. This external information may be provided by an IT information server that communicates with multiple enterprise environments. The scan information and external information is combined to produce integrated information. The integrated information is displayed on a user interface. At least a portion of the integrated information is also sent to a computer outside of the enterprise environment to be shared with users of other enterprise environments.

1. A computer-implemented method for sharing information technology (IT) information, the method comprising:
receiving scan information about an endpoint object configured to run on a managed endpoint in an enterprise environment, the scan information obtained from a scan of the managed endpoint; receiving external information about the endpoint object, the external information received from an information source outside of the enterprise environment; combining the scan information and external information to produce integrated information; and displaying the integrated information on a user interface.
