monitoring

I am in charge of a computer network in a small company (20..30 computers). Recently the need arose to control what kinds of programs our company is using i.e. to collect information that is available when one opens "Add or Remove Programs" in Windows.

I would like to have a program that will collect this kind of information over the network of Windows machines. What is your recommendation?
