This section provides an overview of Asset Information Management – Advanced (AIM-A).
AIM-A is a powerful web-based solution that supports users in organizing, validating and collaborating on asset data and documents irrespective of source or location, providing the ability to link project teams situated in various locations via one unique application.
AIM-A enables information of any type and from any source to be stored and viewed in a secure environment. Related information is automatically linked together to add context, which can be compared, navigated, visualized and reported upon to provide a single environment to view and understand information from multiple systems.
AIM-A is a necessity for any organization involved in designing, building or operating complex engineering assets. It enables organizations to maintain a digital replica of their asset throughout its lifecycle, and enables the information therein to be accessible to support the many business processes, which make up the lifecycle of such an asset.
The following illustration shows an example configuration of AIM-A.
