How is software and hardware inventory/tracking done at your University?  

Our director would like to set up a database or application that will allow
departments to do data entry of the hardware & software that they have. Then
when there are upgrades for software, it can be queried and we can find out who
has the software and if there is enough interest to go for a low-cost upgrade.
The information could also be used for people interested in forming user
groups, examining compatibility issues, and so forth.

We have a VAX VMS system that this could be set up on.  Any comments or
thoughts would be appreciated.
