Fundamental change is part of our life. It is now possible to access, record and retrieve data in an instant. The name given to this change is information or knowledge revolution. The driving force of this revolution is the technology to acquire, transmit, store and retrieve data. What does this have to do with what we know as asset management? It has a lot to do with it. There is a profound and inseparable connection between property and information. Every item of property can be thought of as being a tangible asset and there are certain facts about an asset that is important.

The first essential important fact about an asset is location. If you think you own something but don’t know its location you might as well not have it. Data concerning property is an integral and invaluable make up of the asset.

We at Centennial Associates, Inc. provide services that locate, identify, and collect important information in a user friendly database that can be integrated into any company’s Asset Management, Computer Maintenance Management System or Property Management program.
