Asset Databases for Systems/Software

[SJEaton]

Hi

We would like, if possible, to use Hornbill to create Systems/Software Databases.  These would act as content rich repositories of information that our analysts can access at any time, and we would also like to be able to present lists of systems or software in IC's using the provide type of 'Data Query' and getting assets by type rather than having to create and maintain simple lists. In this way, list in ICs would automatically update if when the databases are updated. 

Has anyone actually implemented this and would be willing to talk to us about how you achieved it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @SJEaton

I'm curious how you intend on using this compared to the software assets that are part of the Service Manager Asset Management? Is there something particular about the Asset Management that doesn't allow you to achieve what you are looking for?

[SJEaton]

Hi @James Ainsworth, yes, sorry if I wasn't clear.  It is Asset Management that we are looking to use for Software and Systems but as yet we are unsure if it allows us to achieve what we are looking for.  We would like to speak to someone who is using this, or a subject matter expert, to understand how it works so we can confirm it meets our requirements
