The business problem
Computer problems should be visible before they turn into an urgent support call.
How the service helps
Monitor tracks device health and warning signs; Inventory provides structured records of equipment and assignments. Companies can choose the relevant scope.
Care Monitor tracks device status, while Care Inventory maintains an inventory of equipment and assignments. Each scope can be selected separately.
A real-world example
Consider a school with about seventy users, three printers and two locations. Care Monitor focuses on device conditions and warnings; Care Inventory helps maintain equipment records and ownership. Workspace and Drive support file workflows. Print is a developing solution for printing and scanning, not a general-availability claim.
What to check
Monitoring and inventory are different functions. Data collectors and agents depend on the deployed configuration.
Industry example: Schools and education
Schools need reliable computers, accurate device records and organised documents. Many cannot spare staff to inspect every machine manually.

SOFBAC aims to address specific needs without requiring the school to replace all existing systems. Monitoring and inventory are separate capabilities.
