Abstract

A method for providing status information pertaining to an asset is disclosed. The method stores information from a first reporting source about the asset and information from a second reporting source about the asset into a database such that the information from the first reporting source and the information from the second reporting source can be accessed from the database. The stored information includes status information about the asset that was received from at least one of the reporting sources. The status information about the asset is then provided to a client for the purpose of displaying a visual representation of the status information on the client.
