Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for discovering assets across a network, the method comprising: performing discovery with an application installed on a plurality of devices communicatively coupled to a server system via a network, wherein the performing discovery comprises determining inventory information for the plurality of devices across the network; identifying, by the server system, information received by the server system specifying a time span; identifying, by the server system, information received by the server system specifying a reporting interval; determining, by the server system, an asset exception that occurs at each reporting interval within the time span, the asset exception triggered in response to a determination that an asset corresponding to financial asset information for the asset in a financial system lacks corresponding physical asset information for the asset in an asset discovery system, wherein the asset exception corresponds to one or more alert conditions; generating, by the server system, an exception notification to transmit to at least one computing device; transmitting the exception notification over a wireless communication channel to the computing device when the computing device is not online with a portal facilitated by the server system, the exception notification causing an installed application on the computing device to display a prompt corresponding to the asset exception, the prompt comprising a hyperlink to facilitate Internet-based communication between the computing device and the server system when the computing device comes online; generating, by the server system, a visualization combining progress over time toward removing all asset exceptions and an aggregate financial impact of removing the asset exception that occurs at each reporting interval, the visualization to facilitate content display based at least in part on the asset exception in response to a mouse-over event associated with the visualization; and transmitting, by the server system, one or more transmissions to the computing device to cause display of the visualization, the one or more transmissions to facilitate displaying content based at least in part on the mouse-over event associated with the visualization so that, when the mouse-over event corresponds to a pointing device controlling a pointer to hover over a visual indication of a particular year, the content is displayed to indicate a year-to-year comparison; wherein the year-to-year comparison indicates one or more calculated values based on calculated values attributed to one or more years prior to the particular year.
