County Asset Tracking Perspective
The Journal’s Buffy Dorpinghaus on her experience implementing a Colorado county’s asset tracking system.
“Once we embarked on the project, we realized part of our problem was that the processes we used to receive, distribute and inventory our IT assets were not very well defined and varied greatly depending on who carried them out. A good example was in receiving: Different staff members tracked different information about the assets. Some were quite diligent about tracking each asset’s serial number; others, however, were not. Since the system they had was an Excel spreadsheet, it was difficult to have the users follow consistent processes. ”
