Managing and Leveraging Change in Infrastructure Assets

Infrastructure assets are unique due to their scale, complexity, and life expectancy. Over the considerable lifetime of an infrastructure asset, change - both within and from without - is an inevitable and unavoidable fact of life. It can be predictable or unexpected, manageable or catastrophic, beneficial or disastrous, significant or inconsequential, inevitable or avoidable.

This free white paper discusses:
  • The challenges faced by infrastructure asset owners from an information technology perspective as they grapple with issues associated with change
  • Unique information technology requirements needed to support effective decision making in highly engineered environments
  • The keys to managing changing information, not only across the lifecycle of these assets, but also across information silos and disparate functional groups
  • The requirements and rationale for effective information technology systems that enable both management of change as well as the ability to leverage change to your advantage
