Getting Results with Archibus

Asset Management application and cloud module

Use the Asset Management application or cloud module to manage the entire asset lifecycle from initial receipt to O&M to disposal. Assets include equipment, furniture, telecom equipment, properties, and buildings.

Asset Management contains all of the features of the Asset Portal and Telecommunications Asset Management applications as well as features to manage initial receipt, disposal, and lifecycle.

Asset managers need to provide effective stewardship of assets through their full operational lifecycle -- from acceptance through operational use and disposal. The application provides an integrated view of all assets, including properties, buildings, land, structures, equipment, and furniture. Web-based consoles provide transparency into asset value, location, status, ownership, and cost. Integrated features support the work of IT and building operations. Mobile apps provide point-of-activity interfaces for asset acceptance and field surveys.
