Introducing Parago

Parago is a powerful computer discovery and software asset management system, purposely designed to meet school budgets. Our software asset management system is easy to use and offers each school an aesthetically pleasing visual interface. Currently, Parago is used by primary schools with 100 assets, to academies with 5,000 assets. Through the development of a wholly web based system, we have enabled our schools to track their computers, software and all other assets both on the school site and at home. This allows schools to not only report on the assets they own, but also on their location. Requiring no installation or extra infrastructure, schools need not worry about the implementation process of Parago.
