Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus, including software tangibly stored on a computer readable medium, involve tracking assets in an enterprise. An electronic asset record is generated based on a request for an asset before receiving a particular asset in response to the request. A particular asset is selected in response to the request for the asset, and data relating to the particular asset is received. The electronic asset record is associated with the particular asset based on the received data. After the particular asset is received, the electronic asset record is modified based on information about the particular asset.
