I am posting this for a colleague and will forward any responses to her.

I am conducting a study on fixed assets for our University works department.
This includes collecting and recording information pertaining to all equipment
and furniture located on campus. 

What system do you use, was the package developed in-house or purchased ? What
type of coding scheme is in place for maintaining the information and what
type of reports are generated ?

At what point is the data entered into the Fixed Asset System ?(ie from the
accounts payable system or when it physically arrives) IS it linked to any 
other systems such as Accounts Payable?

Is the equipment marked in way to make it readily identifiable?

Any information and/or contacts would be appreciated. Thank-you.
