Asset Information Strategy
Many organisations have traditionally overlooked the need to treat asset information as a critical business asset. Has your organisation considered the criticality of the decisions your business takes that are fundamentally influenced by asset information? How comfortable are you with the reliability you can place on your asset information?
The first step in improving the situation is the definition and implementation of an Asset Information strategy which is the starting point to enable your organisation to reduce those risks to an acceptable level. Once an organisation treats its asset information as critical to the business it can begin to unlock the true value of that information and maximise the organisations effectiveness and efficiency..
Asset Information Support Organisation Design
Developing an Asset Information strategy and delivering the Implementation Plan is one thing but sustaining the improvement and maximising the ROI is often overlooked. In some cases the strategy and its delivery may have been developed to deliver short term objectives and in these cases the longer term sustainability of the change is not of concern. However in most cases the desire is for a permanent improvement.
We work with organisations to identify options and provide recommendations as to how to sustain the change through the design of their organisation design, roles, responsibilities and changes to business processes to address the sustainability problem. We can also provide interim Asset Information management / resourcing solutions to assist an organisation while it develops its internal capability and maturity.
Asset Information Training
We offer our client’s specialist Asset Information training courses; these courses range from those designed to raise awareness through to those that are specifically tailored to the requirements of your organisation. These are delivered through one-to-one coaching, classroom training and workshops.
ISO55000 Implementation Support
Many asset intensive organisations are now aligning themselves to the principles enshrined in ISO55000, a key component of the standard is the role of asset information and information systems. We have supported organisations in assessing their level of maturity in these specific areas in the early stages of their ISO55000 implementation project. Once the strengths and weaknesses are understood we have then worked with those organisations to develop improvement action plans to raise the maturity level so that they can achieve accreditation.
BS1192 BIM
The world of Building Information Management has evolved and matured over the last few years, with that maturity comes opportunities for organisations to use BIM to drive efficiencies across the whole lifecycle of the asset and not just in the traditional design and build stages. We can work with your organisation to support its progression through the BIM maturity levels and facilitated integration of BIM and your Common Data Environment with your corporate systems.

Our service can save considerable time and costs for any organisation who needs to digitise its paper based forms and or needs to rapidly begin data capture in the field.
We also provide consultancy services to assist organisations develop and leverage the benefits of going mobile. We primarily focus on helping an organisation understand and deliver the underlying business change activities required to enable a successful deployment. We see this as a vital component as with many IT projects that run into difficulties or fail a significant factor is the organisations failure to appreciate the people and process changes that will be needed to embed the change and realise the business benefits.
Data Dictionary & Information Models
We can create and or enhance existing data dictionaries and data models using the latest modelling techniques. Our approach is to work with the key stakeholders within the business to understand their business case behind their data needs. All too often we see individuals within an organisation defining a data requirement without fully understanding the purpose, the practicalities and costs associated with capturing and maintain the data, whether the data is static or dynamic and if dynamic how frequently will the data need to be refreshed. These are just a few examples of the more in depth questions that need to be considered.
Interim Maintenance Management Solutions
We can provide a robust and quick to deploy Interim Maintenance Management System that enables organisations to react quickly to unforeseen Maintenance responsibilities that need to be effectively and efficiently managed until a strategic solution can be implemented. This requirement can come about as a result of a number of scenarios and our solution is based on providing the client with an end to end managed service including dealing with the ultimately migration to a strategic solution. The following are scenarios where our solution maybe of in interest to clients:
Supplier of outsourced maintenance goes into administration
Delay on project handover of built assets to operator and maintainer resulting in maintenance responsibilities becoming the responsibility of the Construction organisation(s) until handover can be completed.
Acquisition of company’s results in the requirement for a solution to be in place more quickly than the current existing corporate solution can be changed to accommodate the new responsibilities.
