I started with a new company a few weeks ago and they have been tracking their assets on a spreadsheet. Actually, one guy has been tracking only laptops- about 150 of them. I come from a large corporate atmosphere and am used to updating the asset database, but I’ve never been the asset database guy- there was always a group dedicated to that. The companies I have worked for have had a web-based application to do this.
My teammate is the one that has been keeping his assets, but he really wants a better way to do it, so I know he will be on-board for just about anything. He even mentioned an Access Database, but I am not extremly proficient in that. He has a lot of data he wants to keep track of including RAM and size of HD.
I have done some research on products, but there are just too many and it’s hard to know what would be a good one, especially a free or inexpensive one.
The question is, is there a free or inexpensive product I can use to at least start tracking assets? Even a good Access DB Template would be better than what he’s been doing.
