About OCS Inventory NG

OCS Inventory NG (Open Computers and Software Inventory) scans the devices in an IT department and records their hardware and software details on a central server. Once machines are inventoried, it can also deploy packages to them. Plugins extend it to fit other systems.

Version 3.0 is a full redesign with a RESTful API, a cross-platform agent written in Dart and a Vue.js web interface. It is available as a release candidate for DEB, RHEL, Linux, macOS and Windows and is not yet recommended for production. Version 2.x remains the current stable line. FactorFX is the main contributor.
