From the City Controller’s office:
City Controller Alan Butkovitz today released the FY08-09 Procurement Department audit [PDF] that found the Department is using a 15-year old database software application to account for the City’s $472 million equipment inventory.
Since 1996, the software has undergone four major revisions but the Department never obtained the upgraded versions. The software is no longer supported by the Microsoft developer.

The software is called the C-400 Inventory Control System, says Brian Dries, a Controller office spokesman.
