The recent use by Victoria Police of the Hardcat fixed asset management solution at the 2006 Commonwealth Games and the G-20 Economic Forum has been highly successful, with the solution keeping accurate tracking of various assets associated with the security for these major events. March 2007 sees the FINA World Swimming Championships come to Melbourne. The Hardcat solution has once again been selected as the asset management solution of choice for this major event. Hardcat is being used for fast, highly accurate tracking of the issue and return of various items ranging from communication equipment to security passes. Using the rugged Hardcat client/server application in conjunction with quality Symbol LS series scanners, Victoria Police are able to issue equipment to personnel by simply scanning the ID card of the personnel and the barcode affixed to the equipment.
