Information Management Strategies for Asset Lifecycle Management
Infrastructure assets are unique. Initial capital investment is significant, as are operating budgets. They are also different because of their scale, complexity, and long life spans. Management of these assets does not stop when construction is complete – efficient and effective operations and maintenance require the management of critical interdependent asset information in order to achieve a maximum return on investment while operating these assets safely.
In this eSeminar, you will learn how:
- Poor information management adversely affects the cost (CAPEX and OPEX) of Asset Lifecycle Management (ALM)
- Information needs vary across key ALM processes
- Change management and information relationships are essential for trustworthy information
- Asset Lifecycle Information Management (ALIM) strategies deliver compelling value
- Bentley’s AssetWise platform provides a foundation for effective ALIM

Asset Performance Management: An IT Perspective
The ARC Advisory Group has developed a comprehensive strategy for Asset Lifecycle Management (ALM) that includes processes throughout the asset lifecycle.
In this eSeminar, ARC will discuss Asset Performance Management (APM) and the role the IT organization plays in developing and supporting this strategy in the framework of the organization’s overall ALM process. In addition, Bentley will introduce key products in its AssetWise portfolio of products that manage asset information throughout its lifecycle and will present use cases for several key industries.
In this eSeminar, you will learn:
- How IT plays a key role in supporting the operating performance of infrastructure assets
- That Asset Information Management (AIM) processes provide a framework for the delivery of “trustworthy” information
- Why asset performance practitioners, IT architects, and IT support staff must collaborate to improve operations
- That ALM has to support diverse, complex information about infrastructure projects and assets
- How to identify the applications and technology included in the scope of IT for AIM
- How Bentley’s AssetWise platform provides an interoperable foundation for effective ALIM

Asset Information Management: The Case for Developing an AIM Strategy
In this eSeminar, ARC will present the case for developing an AIM strategy. Using real-world examples, Bentley will discuss when the time is right to implement an AIM strategy for projects at various stages of the asset lifecycle – design and engineering, asset information handover for construction, and asset operations – and discuss the tangible business benefits at each phase of the lifecycle. From an asset operations perspective, you will learn how an effective AIM solution supports and integrates with existing enterprise systems.
In this eSeminar, you will learn how:
- To assess the cost of poor-quality asset information in your organization
- AIM benefits revenues, OPEX, and CAPEX
- Good asset information management supports the complete asset lifecycle
- To make the business case for an Asset Lifecycle Information Management (ALIM) strategy
- Bentley’s AssetWise platform, software, and services enable good AIM
- Bentley customers are using AssetWise products and services to improve asset operations today

Asset Information Management (AIM): AIM Technology Solutions
Technology provides the foundation for organizations to efficiently collect, organize, and manage the volumes of drawings, lists, specs, manuals, and databases associated with a typical capital asset investment. It also allows organizations to sustain the integrity of this information throughout the asset lifecycle.
In this eSeminar, ARC will explain how to approach the development of an AIM strategy given that assets vary significantly across industries and organizations have different asset management strategies. Identifying unique AIM requirements in areas like information content, business processes, and the stakeholders that must be supported is critical to a successful process. Bentley will share best practices learned through collaboration with users and recap how the AssetWise platform and associated products can provide the basis for a robust AIM strategy.
In this eSeminar, you will learn:
· That complex interrelationships must be managed carefully to ensure good quality and usability
· Why federated information management is a fundamental AIM technology requirement
· Not to rely on conventional information management solutions for your AIM needs
· How to evaluate technology once you’ve outlined your AIM needs
· Bentley’s interoperable platform approach to AIM supports infrastructure needs throughout the asset lifecycle
