Francis McDowell - An Uncomfortable Truth About Asset Information Systems

How should an organization regard Asset Information Systems within its Asset Management?

When considering asset management, many organizations work from the IT solution back, rather than from the business requirements forward. They don’t realize that the principles that define AM should be designed into existing business processes and that this should be done before implementing a new asset registry or management system.
