LIFE CYCLE ASSET MANAGER - LCAM®

LCAM® is a web-based asset management system that will benefit your business if you have a legacy system to replace (PICS/DCPR/BVAPP, Inventory Manager) or no asset management system in place. LCAM® tracks and processes all the events of an asset’s lifetime and interfaces to your enterprise systems. This ensures that as assets enter the network, are moved, reused, and eventually retired, the transactions are created and processed through accounting.

The generic asset engine can accommodate assets such as central office and remote terminal equipment, outside plant equipment, computers, capitalized software, and more.

LCAM® is designed to easily integrate with your business’s enterprise applications through data-rich messages. Enterprise integration allows data utilized by LCAM® to be obtained from the enterprise systems that “own” the data, eliminating data synchronization issues. Similarly, LCAM’s® historical asset and invoice data is made available across your company resulting in better intelligence with which to manage your assets.

Deployment and support costs are reduced by the use of industry standard browsers such as Internet Explorer, on the client’s workstation. LCAM® utilizes a 100% HTML approach, rather than a Java-based or other “fat” client, which minimizes or eliminates client configuration issues.
