snipeSnipe-IT - Asset Management For the Rest of Us
This is a FOSS project for asset management in IT Operations. Knowing who has which laptop, when it was purchased in order to depreciate it correctly, etc.
It is built on Laravel 4 and uses the Sentry 2 package. I chose Laravel because it's no better or worse than any other PHP framework out there, and not really for any other reason.
Many thanks to the Laravel 4 starter site for a quick start.
This isn't actually ready for anyone to use yet, as I'm still working out some of the basic functionality. But stay tuned.
Requirements
- PHP 5.3.7 or later
- MCrypt PHP Extension
