InfoAsset Manager Key Concepts

The system provides a database for storing and manipulating asset data and includes the routines necessary to import, create and manage that data. When the asset data has been collected, validated and updated, InfoAsset Manager allows you to generate reports of the network condition and status.

In particular, InfoAsset Manager allows you to perform the following tasks:

• Manage and maintain network asset data over a long time period.
• Share network asset data among a workgroup of users with audit trails and security mechanisms designed with the asset management task in mind.
• Import asset data from other systems.
• Consolidate data from a variety of sources using validation and editing tools.
• View a geographical representation of the network on screen, with the network displayed over the top of a detailed local map, in 2D and 3D, with comprehensive facilities to customise the network appearance.
• Generate up to date reports of the network asset status.

These functions allow management of the existing network and planning of future survey, rehabilitation and development programmes.

InfoAsset Manager has a large number of features which take advantage of the increased power of PCs, our ongoing commitment to modelling excellence and experience gathered over InfoWorks' twenty-plus year history:

Technology features include:

• Scenario Manager
  • Allows the editing of multiple 'what if' scenarios in parallel with the ability to easily create and delete scenarios, switch between scenarios, change data in one scenario or the base model and compare scenarios.
  • Enables efficient examination of alternative scenarios for planning schedules, pipe repairs, rehabilitation program or cost estimation exercises, for example.
  • User selects which scenarios to analyse, the software automatically runs simulations for all the different scenarios.
