Avaliação de ferramentas opensource para gerenciamento de ativos na Universidade Federal da Paraíba - Campus IV Rio Tinto

Abstract

Nowadays, companies rely on their assets to improve their tasks, processes, and to automate their departments. For this to happen, there is a need for better lifecycle management of each asset so companies can get the most out of the lifespan of the existing assets by trying to reduce maintenance and the purchase costs for new assets. Companies thinking about the importance of asset management are increasingly investing in robust management tools to make it easier to manage information about all company assets for the best results at the lowest possible cost, regardless if it is a small, medium or large company. At Federal Universities, it is no different: as they have little investment from the government that it is getting shorter over time, the adoption of solutions that are private or paid becomes unviable. The best option is to seek more viable solutions that have the lowest cost possible or no cost at all for adoption and that come to facilitate the management of the lifecycle of the assets considerably. One option that is getting more market share every day is the Open Source software, as it is a model where there is no cost for adoption, and it is possible to find in the market several consolidated software for asset management. Given the significant demand existing for this kind of software, this work proposes an analysis and evaluation of open-source asset management tools to be deployed at Campus IV of the Federal University of Paraiba, Rio Tinto.
