Owners of critical assets have great responsibility. Without the supply of electricity and the provision of a stable public infrastructure network, modern society would not be able to function. Designing, building, operating and maintaining an entire asset portfolio in a continuously changing world, while working together with numerous external partners and suppliers across all lifecycle stages, is quite a challenge.
Challenging tasks at hand
• Manage an increasing number of projects at the same time
• Anticipate – often unknown – future developments
• Base all your decisions and actions on up-to-date, reliable, and complete information
The successive stages in the asset lifecycle require their own implementation teams with their domain-specific way of dealing with information. This is a major pitfall for the availability and consistency of reliable asset information. Moreover, for good reasons, the owner’s Asset Management database is often not available for external partners and suppliers, who see no other way than using their own information systems.
Wouldn’t it be great to have an all-encompassing, reliable and accessible information system, like a linking pin, with which information transfer between stages becomes obsolete?
