Completing an Inventory Sheet per Application

An organization should create an inventory sheet for each application being validated. Having an inventory sheet per application can result in dozens, if not hundreds, of sheets of paper. However, each application needs to go through extensive verification for compatibility, so the information gathered will be helpful.

A sample product inventory sheet includes the following categories:

• Vendor name

• Product name

• Version number

• Application or service?

• Mission-critical?

• Compatible with Windows Server 2012 (Y/N)?

• Vendor-stated requirements to make compatible

• Decision to migrate (update, upgrade, replace, remain on existing OS, stop using, proceed without vendor support)
