What's the benefits/difference of the GLPI vs OCS

Good day,

I am really sorry if question look stupid, but I am a novice with OCS and particularely with a GLPI.

I already installed an old version of OCS which works for some year. Now I reinstalled the last version of OCS to have a new fresh inventory of my PC, Mac and linux.

My needs are simple: to have an inventory of my devices to have a quick overview of the avalability of specification of my devises. I will not use all of the sepcification of OCS.

Without the GLPI, I think, OCS provide all of I mainly need

  • Listing all of my workstation
  • To have a tag with the workstation location (need to easy modify it if the workstation move)
  • To have a tag, showing if the workstation is in use or available for a new collaborators
  • Periodicaly update the inventory of the hardware change

I installed the GLPI on a testing server, and I observed there is many other functionnaliies as

  • Budget
  • Ticket / assistance
  • provider/manufacturer
  • etc

All seems to be interresting but it's not necessary for me.

More important:
I could install the OCS plugin and I imported the two inventoried PC from OCS. The two PC are now showed in the GLPI web application. However, I observed that in OCS the 'last inventory' date is today, and in the GLPI, the date is the 6 of April 2017. It's important that the records are automatically updated from OCS to GLPI.

I wundering,

  • what are the other benefits of GLPI vs OCS
  • What is exactely the difference with OCS
  • How can I make sure that all GLPI records are updated
  • How can I automatically import record from OCS to GLPI, when a new workstation is added to OCS?

I thank you for all advises you can provide to me in order to correctly use GLPI with OCS in the best way.

Cheers
