[labnetwork] Perspectives on equipment management software

[Stieg, Adam]

Hi All,

We are in the process of reviewing our approach to managing reservations, access, billing, etc. for equipment throughout the CNSI at UCLA. To date, we have relied on a system developed in-house that is no longer viable. There is a significant push amongst the shared resources on campus toward iLabs. We have also begun looking into FOM (fomnetworks.com) as an alternative option. I know this may not be the best venue for a dialogue on the strengths/weaknesses of these specific solutions (or any other for that matter), but if any of you are willing to share your perspectives or experiences working with either of these vendors it would be greatly appreciated.

All the best,
Adam
