Asset Management System (AMS)

What is AMS?

The Asset Management System (AMS) tracks all equipment, and facilitates equipment status changes and equipment inventory-taking online.

Equipment custodians use the AMS to manage department inventorial equipment online. If you are an equipment custodian, you can use AMS to:

Make changes to your inventorial equipment list.
Perform transactions such as disposals, transfers, and loans.
Search for inventorial equipment by asset number, serial number, building/ room number, the user’s name or many other attributes.
Find out who retains title to inventorial equipment.
Generate inventory reports as needed.

What are the benefits of using AMS on the Web?

Significantly reduced paper processing.
On-demand inventory.
Inventory data and reports downloadable to excel.
Attaching documents and pics to assets and transactions.
Email notifications.

When should I use the AMS?

Use AMS to track inventorial equipment only. If you are unsure whether your equipment qualifies as inventorial, see "What is Inventorial Equipment."

How can I get access to AMS on the Web?

If you are a designated equipment custodian or an alternate, you can request access to EQM on the web by using the Logon Request Form.
