Managing physical assets; land, buildings and infrastructureManaging land, buildings and infrastructure

Your organisation is likely to manage, own or lease a wide range of physical assets – land, buildings, offices, infrastructure – and should keep comprehensive records about them, such as, the purchase price, current value and maintenance schedule.

If your assets are located in more than one place, using our geographic data is one of the most effective ways to track and manage such assets.

Managing land and property assets

Estate and property managers need to manage maintenance, security, energy efficiency and pollution prevention measures, whilst adhering to tight budgets. 

The key issues are often:

  • Managing buildings on multiple sites.
  • Ensuring the good repair of boundaries.
  • Complying with complex environmental regulations.
  • Delivering savings in energy costs and insurance premiums.

Our geographic data can help by enabling you to:

  • Maintain electronic records using location as a common reference.
  • Identify potential weak points in your perimeter security.
  • Report to your customers in a way they will understand.

Infrastructure management

Our data is used to provide business intelligence and integrate business processes across an enterprise.

In the utilities sector infrastructure assets can be coordinated using location information to:

  • Identify the precise location of all your assets;
  • Associate your own data to enable proactive asset maintenance and replacement strategies;
  • Identify an asset in relation to risk;
  • Provide an accurate and reliable referencing platform for third-party enquiries, and;
  • Identify the location and status of customers in relation to operational assets.
