DATA & Information
Management

At the heart of asset information management is data, which must be actively maintained throughout its lifecycle.

Despite signficant investment of time and money implementing asset management technologies, many organisations find benefits are slow to be delivered, are difficult to quantify and asset managers still find they do not have access to the information they need. Data is the fuel that drives the asset information ecosystem. The quality of insight that comes out is therefore tightly bound to the quality of data that goes in.

Maintenance of data as an enterprise asset in its own right can be a cumbersome task without immediate payback, but with poor data quality comes inefficient operations, flawed decision making, and reduced worker safety. Effective data and information management supports asset management activities, policy making and business decisions by keeping data quality aligned with asset information standards during its acquisition, storage, utilisation and, ultimately, its archiving or disposal.
