Computer hardware asset management system is essential for every organization. However, there still a situation where the computer hardware asset is not well manages. This circumstances cause the computer assets are not fully optimized by the orgamzation. The aim of this project is to develop a prototype system which able to manage the computer hardware assets, so that the assets are well distributed, well manage, and fully utilized and optimized by the organization. This project developed using the Object Modeling Technique (OMT) methodology by Rumbaugh et al. (1991). OMT consists of five (5) main phases; analysis phase, object design, system design, implementation, and testing. The system was developed using the PowerDynamo programming language together with Sybase Adaptive Anywhere (ASA) as it database. The benefits of this system can be seen in term of administrative site and user site (department). For the administrator, this system assists them to manage, access, and updating data such as requisition, acquisition, inventory, distribution, maintenance, and computer disposal. In term of user, they can deal with the administrator through online, for example the can make requisition through online, sending information on the current user and location of the computer in the department also through online. Shortly, this system is able to manage the computer asset more effective.
