I once sold a program to a customer that promised to track and maintain an inventory of one vendor’s technology assets in the plant. The president of another company explained to me about 10 years later about the company’s development of a technology asset discovery and tracking system that had done the program I had sold a quantum leap better. Obviously, technology asset tracking is a customer need.
