The document discusses using FusionInventory and GLPI for asset management. FusionInventory is used for inventorying hardware and software on a network. It collects data via an agent and stores it on a server. GLPI then connects this inventory data to additional administrative information for full asset management. It allows tracking assets throughout their lifecycle for functions like accounting, budgeting, and help desk support. The latest stable versions of both FusionInventory and GLPI provide improved features for network discovery, administrative roles, and ITIL compliance.
