We are looking to create an asset tracking system to help track information technology resources commonly found in institutions. This includes both physical assets like a computer or camera as well as things such as software licenses. A check-in and check-out system is key for this project as well as auditing capabilities of inventory. This project is starting from scratch but we are willing to look at customizing existing applications.

Specifically we're looking to

  • Create a flexible and expandable database with a web front end.
  • Allow for users to reserve resources.
  • Ability to work with LDAP for user population and access control.
  • Allow administrators to run reports to help indicate things such as warranty or license expiration as well as who a resource is allocated to.
