To compute a compliance, OpTISAM needs to know on which equipments your software products are installed. The goal of the inventory is to reference all of your products and the equipments on which they are installed.
OpTISAM's inventory structure must reflect the structure of your IT park.

So, the inventory of OpTISAM is originally designed to have associations between "Products" and "Equipments". We have added the possibility to have "Applications" and associations between the "Applications" and the "Products" in order to allow users to also have an "Applications" view. But this is not the first aim of OpTISAM, so the "Applications" are not mandatory to have a good use of OpTISAM.

OpTISAM inventory contains :
- Equipments (Mandatory)
- Products (Mandatory)
- Applications (Optionnal)
