Asset Tracking Should Be A Management Function
Asset tracking is often considered to be an esoteric requirement imposed on US businesses as a consequence of SARBOX, but it should be much more than that.Asset tracking is a vital component of informed and good management.Assets must not only be managed financially, they must be managed physically as well.To do that requires accurate knowledge of just where your assets are, even if they are fixed. Many companies rely on a conventional spreadsheet approach to try to keep track of all their various assets, but that can prove problematic without the use of fixed asset tracking software to ensure the company is compliant with national and international regulations.
That’s especially important in tracking IT assets.IT equipment frequently changes during its operational lifetime.Components can be switched, replaced or upgraded. Software is frequently installed, uninstalled or upgraded. Many of these changes are internal and therefore usually “invisible”. The desirability of many IT systems can also contribute to their tendency to “disappear”.
Central to any asset tracking system should be a powerful, centralised database which provides controlled access for all parties that require it, thus preventing discrepancies that may otherwise arise between departments. This system should also have the capacity to include information about those invisible software assets sitting on your IT network – how many programs and whether they are licenced or not?A single audit exercise should have the capacity to cover multiple locations and thousands of assets. It should ideally also be fully compatible with inventory management systems.
This is particularly important with many asset tracking software packages designed to control and manage mobile and fixed assets that incorporate bar coding and RFID asset tracking (Radio Frequency Identification) technologies. Hand-held scanning devices can work with both accounting and tracking modules to provide an accurate, validated, and consistently up to date database.This will enable users to comply confidently with auditor requirements relating to accurately accounting for and tracking their asset base. Once the audit data has been uploaded into the asset or inventory register, managers can get reports detailing total assets and suggested actions (disposable, relocation, upgrade etc) for each of the assets located in the audit. Managers can therefore be alerted to any discrepancies in the location or status of an asset.
Looking for research information on software trends over the last 30 years?
initially organisations wanted best of breed applications, then integrated best of breed which often failed due to poor integration tools. Single source fully integrated was next and currently we are looking at best of breed again with tools to allow full integration. Can anyone advise where I can find articles or survey results which back up this information.

Ten Totally Awesome jQuery Plugins (magazine.websiteservices)
* * *
December has finally arrived, which means that the Web will be flooded with
end-of-the-year lists for the next thirty days. For our part, we decided to
kick off the celebration with the following compilation of some of _WM_'s
favorite jQuery plugins that either made their debuts or underwent significant
updates in 2011.
_If jump-starting your designs or just simplifying the development process are
on your list of resolutions for 2012, take a look at these jQuery plugins from
the past year:_
**jRumble **
Released in October 2011, jRumble gets viewers' attention by adding a
vibrating - or rumbling - effect to any element on a page. It can be used as
an effective hover tool or will merely make certain elements of your design
stand out.
**Simple Overlay **
Users can add lightweight, flexible overlays to the entire page or confine
them to a single element, and display the overlays using jQuery's fade effect,
slide effect or no effect at all.
**FlexSlider** _(image below)_
Released over the summer, FlexSlider is a responsive jQuery slider designed to
serve beginning designers/developers as well as providing the more seasoned
professionals with a tool they can use with confidence.
