Every few months, I go looking around for a solution for this, and every time (so far) I've found that everything out there was overkill for my needs (OTRS), to closely tuned to someone else's vision of what they needed to be applicable, and/or a dead-end product.
I hadn't come across the Asset Tracker plugin for RT, which is a shame. It also looks like BestPractical is building their own Asset extension for RT, based off RT 4.2. I think I may take a look at that one, since I've been a long-time fan of RT in general. -- Christopher Manly Coordinator, Library Systems Cornell University Library Information Technologies [email protected] 607-255-3344 From: john boris <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Thursday, February 20, 2014 at 2:17 PM To: Peter Loron <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Cc: LOPSA Discuss <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: [lopsa-discuss] Recommendations for basic asset tracking Peter, I used the Asset Tracker plugin to Request Tracker for a while until our place went to School Dude. I am not a fan of that software and it is a giant waste when the Asset Tracker plugin for RT worked and was free. Another free thing I used was called Asset Manager written by a guy who worked for BC Tree Fruit company. I just checked the link and it is dead. The company is still there but I guess he left or retired. I still use it for my purchase orders. He gave it out without warranty and said if you use it on the open internet you best keep it secure. I used it because I sit on a private network and none of my servers point to the outside so I didn't worry too much. It was written under the GNU GPL so it is free to distribute. It is much easier to setup then RT but it is not as extensive. I had to keep track of minimal equipment. If you are interested I can dig up the code and send it to you.

I'm looking for a tool to replace the current spreadsheet of IT assets (servers, switches, end-user machines, etc). I've looked briefly at openDCIM, but that's serious overkill for us. F/OSS preferred, but commercial is ok, too. Any tools the hive mind has liked?
