Asset information management
Any asset-intensive business generates enormous volumes of information. If managed and used properly, asset information can effect major step-changes in efficiency, helping companies to move from ‘doing the work right’ to ‘doing the right work’.
Asset Information Management (AIM) is at the heart of Enterprise Asset Management in order to extract value for the enterprise from the vast reservoirs of data that assets generate. For example, by monitoring a carefully-designed set of parameters about asset performance, a comprehensive picture can be built up about the reliability or deteriorating performance of the asset and others around it. The organisation raises its game to ‘condition-based’ maintenance, reducing the risk of breakdown and increasing an asset’s lifespan.
AIM can help enterprises to improve the quality of the increasingly stringent reporting required by regulators. By providing the right information, to the right people, at the right time, it can reduce operational costs. It can also significantly reduce the cost and effort of regulatory data collection and preparation. Finally, AIM can help to control capital expenditure by providing a more precise picture of where investments are needed.
Logica’s consulting services help enterprises to define their data, process and IT needs and our ERP systems make efficient, end-to-end data management a reality. Our experience with service-oriented architectures and metadata management helps managers to reconcile data between systems, by presenting ‘one version of the truth’. We have in-depth experience of data mining and warehousing techniques and can even offer an entirely outsourced AIM system via our own service centres. But what really sets Logica apart is our understanding of how to integrate the different elements of AIM so our customers can extract maximum value from their asset information.
