About Asset Management Suite

Asset Management Suite provides a management console, a database environment,
and a suite of solutions that let you track assets and asset-related information.
The suite includes Asset Management Solution, Barcode Solution, and CMDB
Solution. It specializes in tracking IT-related assets, such as computers and
software. You can also use it to track other types of assets, such as furniture and
company cars.
In association with assets, you can record and track many types of documents
and documented details. For example, you can track lease schedules, NDAs
(nondisclosure agreements), SLAs (Service Level Agreements), and warranty
information. Contracts and contract details can be associated with assets so you
can easily view the contractual information that is related to specific assets. You
can even configure the software so that it notifies you of the upcoming actions
that might be specified in a contract.
