A Powerful Step Beyond Document Management
Bentley’s AssetWise platform provides comprehensive document control for organizations that need to effectively, efficiently, and accurately capture, manage, control, retrieve, distribute, and archive all types of information assets across the enterprise.
This document control encompasses four areas:
- Document management
- Change management
- Records management
- Distribution
Document management and change management form the cornerstone of the document control functionality. The combination effectively manages enterprise information throughout its lifecycle of change. A flexible security model can be applied by role, by project, or by user.
The AssetWise products handle both paper- and computer-based information and integrate with the most widely used design software, including Bentley’s MicroStation and AutoCAD. In addition, they offer tight integration with Microsoft SharePoint, which, in turn, provides tight integration with Microsoft Office and eB QuickLinks. The products also provide an extremely powerful, yet easy-to-use foundation for integrating with other enterprise systems such as Esri/GIS and IBM/Maximo.
Equally important, AssetWise document control capabilities address the entire lifecycle of information in context. AssetWise is unique in its ability to manage connectivity to all relevant information, allowing organizations to reduce the cost of meeting compliance requirements, minimize business risk, improve decision making, and optimize process efficiency.
AssetWise delivers document control tailored to an organization’s requirements through the following software products:
