Asset Intelligence synchronization points can be used by Microsoft Software Assurance (SA) license customers to connect to and synchronize with System Center Online, to download updated Asset Intelligence catalog information, and to upload custom software title information.

Important
All software titles uploaded to System Center Online for categorization will be treated as public information by Microsoft. Therefore, you should ensure that your custom software titles do not contain confidential or proprietary information.
