Configuration management is a method of ensuring that asset configurations conform to their requirements. It addresses not only the classical aspects of document management but also the ability to identify and retain the context of information and its relationship to projects, processes, equipment, organizations, and users throughout their lifecycles.
AssetWise ALIM configuration management capabilities ensure information integrity through closed-loop change management, guaranteeing consistency between all aspects of operational information and the requirements related to the asset being described. AssetWise ALIM is used by organizations to manage change and modifications while complying with design standards. AssetWise helps you improve integrity of information, enable proper assessment and impact of change, streamline auditing of all affected objects, and increase visibility to the current status of assets. These process improvements can lower costs through user efficiency and minimize costly rework.
