In easiest way one can define the difference between asset and ci as

CI--> anything which must be configurable,not participate directly in any financial decision.Provides the strength of your organisation in terms of working items.

Asset: Anything which may or may not be configurable,but participate in all financial decision.

 

Please mark my answer as correct and close the thread so that others can also benefit.
