I've never even seen a company that properly tracks assets when they're only defined as "servers" and "software packages". The closest I saw with hardware, before virtualization really took over, was when the datacenter wasn't allowed to hand out IP addresses to new servers without them being in the master inventory list. Then virtualization happened and things got bad again. Any company with Devops is going to run into challenges too.
