Dear friends and colleagues,

I like to identify a few facility management systems that are suitable at a
University level, to provide access to a shared management system for its
many different kind of facilities. The system should of course include
options for booking, billing, user statistics, resource statistics, maintenance
etc.

I checked previous postings and have on my list so far iLab Solutions and
Stratocore (with PPMS), but I hope to get a few more options.

I would also be very grateful for input from other facilities that use such
a "facility-generic" management system today, how that work for you. User
friendliness, ease of installation and support quality are important factors,
as well as how easy it is to create automatic rules/restrictions for booking
resources.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions and reviews you may share on/off-
list.

We are currently looking at Bookit-Lab (http://bookit-lab.com/).  They have modules for instrument scheduling, service requests (which can ramp up to a full LIMS system) and electronic lab notebooks.
