Hi Theofanis,

Personally I haven't had any experience of that. Although if you're thinking
of doing asset management you may want to look into the OTRS:ITSM module
which encompasses a CMDB, if you know a bit of mysql then no doubt you can
import the relevant data, or maybe produce an interface into it.

Regards,
