Information Management
The primary objective of this service is to generate accurate asset and related information in an organized manner that is easy to use and compatible with existing business requirements and reporting mechanisms. Lockwood creates data structures that display information hierarchies that show dependencies between related items. For example, if a computer chassis is tagged, the internal components, such as hard drives or video cards, can be shown as logically linked in the data base, and therefore tracked and reconciled. The hierarchical representation is also useful for linking purchase order numbers to ledger line items that reflect the PO. This is also useful for project codes. In the latter case, information is staged in an intelligent data management system which grants unrestricted-use licenses to customers. The system incorporates many useful automation tools such as cycle counting and physical inventory verification, enabling users to implement and support inventory management best practices. The system is used by customers to generate easily defined ad hoc management reports as needed.
Lockwood provides system integration and first year support as a standard part of its product offering.
