ICT record-keeping in the Pilsen Municipal Transport Co (PMDP)

Until 2004, PMDP did not have an efficient enough central system of record-keeping of physical ICT resources. Although accurate accounting records were kept, no tool was available for the purpose of effective management of ICT resource movements. Any requirements for reports on the physical assignment of assets required a disproportionate amount of time from IT staff, it was difficult to keep track of the effectiveness of using the entrusted assets, and plans for ICT modernizations and replacements were often held back by subjective feelings rather than the objective technical condition of those assets.
