11. Asset Information Management
Pipeline Industry Overview
Asset Information Management
Critical Review in 2010
What business needs have changed since our original direction set in 2000?
Where can we improve our current information management practices?
What will our AIM program become by year 2020?
Scalable
Is our information system architecture scalable enough to meet
3rd Party Damage
Interoperable
Across the department between the various technologies deployed
Across a company between various corporate information systems
Across the industry in divestitures, acquisitions and new construction
Technically Diverse
Relational Databases
Unstructured Information Management
