Title: VERMONT'S "OFF-THE-SHELF" EQUIPMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
Accession Number: 00742036
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: In the late 1970's the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VAOT) decided to build a computerized equipment management system. Through the 1980's various changes were made as portable computers arrived, and by the late 1980's, mainframe programming was getting to be very costly and slow. By 1990, VAOT had begun to investigate what was available for software for equipment management systems through the private sector and what other states were using. VAOT found that commercial systems are readily available in a wide range of capabilities and cost; all are less costly to acquire and install than building one from scratch; and most are flexible in how they operate to meet the needs of a variety of users. It is recommended that those looking for a new equipment management system should look into the commercial systems before trying to build one.
