The problem facing the accounting of equipment any company, staff is more than a few dozen people and equipment that is fixed for different people or geographically located in different places. Problem of computer equipment is particularly acute because This equipment is subject to frequent change and undergoes frequent rotation. I have never met a more or less large enterprises, where the problem of accounting IT equipment has been completely solved by means of accounting. This is normal. First, accounting operates his own accounting objects. For example, several pieces of equipment can go on book-keeping an asset. Secondly, for accounting often makes sense to accounting within the organization (branch, division) and a more detailed account greatly complicates the work of accountants.
Thirdly, the question of access to accounting data IT staff of the department - they should be able to assess whether a particular technology in the enterprise and to know where that stands. In this case, the accounting becomes very inefficient tool. One can cite other arguments showing the need for additional tools of accounting, but I think the whole idea is clear. To date, the market offers dozens of programs to accommodate computer equipment. Despite the overall direction, programs vary greatly in functionality. Sooner or later, to the Head of IT department question the choice of instrument accounting. Grasp the solution of such problems, the first stage is not always clear what criteria should be used in the selection. Error in the choice may lead to large overheads.
