If I’m asked about what is the most important aspect of Asset Management, my first response is always people and relationships.

However, there really is a key point to getting it all right, and that is: ensuring data integrity by having one spot, place, location, both physical and virtual be the ultimate Asset Record. We call this practice “owning the system of record”. It’s important to note that this is not a spreadsheet, software program, or your friendly IT guy that alone can ever do this properly. It’s really more of a mindset, system, and methodology that must permeate across organizational lines… And once again, it loops back to people who care, processes that work, and people who care deeply that the processes are working!
