Description:	PAR Excellence is an inventory management technology that uses calibrated or weighted bins to capture data related to end user usage, stock replenishment, and other inventory related transactions in a supply closet. This technology captures transactions and usage data and keeps it stored on the user’s workstation, allowing them to run reports, analyze data, and manage inventory. Note: There is no specific webpage for this technology, thus the vendor`s website is used in its place. This technology uses Microsoft Structured Query Language (SQL) Server database to store and transmit all inventory data. The TRM decisions in this entry only apply to technologies and versions owned, operated, managed, patched, and version-controlled by VA. This includes technologies deployed as software installations on VMs within VA-controlled cloud environments (e.g. VA Enterprise Cloud (VAEC)). Cloud services provided by the VAEC, which are listed in the VAEC Service Catalog, and those controlled and managed by an external Cloud Service Provider (i.e. SaaS) are not in the purview of the TRM. For more information on the use of cloud services and cloud-based products within VA, including VA private clouds, please see the Enterprise Cloud Solutions Office (ECSO) Portal at: https://dvagov.sharepoint.com/sites/OITECSO This entry covers the Desktop Edition of this technology and not any mobile versions. Please note that the implementation of mobile technology applications that operate on Mobile Operating Systems must be reviewed and approved by the Mobile Technology and Endpoint Security Engineering Team: http://vaww.eie.va.gov/SysDesign/CS/MT/default.aspx Note: TRM only assess drivers with a software component, and not the hardware.
