Asset Management​

Automated EOSL (End of Support & End of Life) Management for Software Assets

Motadata ServiceOps introduces the all-new Workflow Builder, a powerful automation engine designed to streamline ITSM operations across multiple modules. The improvements are:

Automated EOSL Management enables ServiceOps to automatically track and maintain software End of Support and End of Life (EOL) information. By eliminating manual lifecycle tracking, it ensures accurate visibility into support status. It helps organizations proactively manage upgrades, reduce security and compliance risks, and support audits and reporting using centralized EOSL data.

Key Benefits

  • Automated lifecycle tracking: No manual updates or spreadsheets
  • Proactive planning: Early visibility into upcoming EOSL milestones
  • Risk reduction: Avoid unsupported or vulnerable software
  • Improved efficiency: Centralized and consistent lifecycle data
  • Better decisions: EOSL insights available across assets, workflows, reports, and notifications

Key Enhancements Across ServiceOps

  • Administration & Configuration Admins can enable and manage EOSL synchronization from Admin > Supplier Management > EOSL Sync Settings, with support for manual and scheduled syncs and role-based access control.
  • Asset Visibility EnhancementsEOSL fields added to Software Asset search filters and column selection.A new EOSL Insights tab on the Software Asset details page.System-generated Support Status tags for quick identification.Visual lifecycle timeline highlighting EOSL milestones and current phase.
  • EOSL Audit An EOSL Audit view tracks all synchronization activities, including sync type, status, user details, timestamps, and IP addresses. Audit records can be exported in PDF and Excel formats.
  • Workflow Automation EOSL attributes can now be used as workflow triggers and conditions, enabling automated actions when lifecycle dates or support status
  • Reporting Enhancements EOSL data is available across all report types with new conditions, columns, group-by options, time filters, and out-of-the-box reports such as EOSL Insights and Software Assets by Support Status.
