Asset Register & GIS Synchronization
Establish and maintain a complete register of distribution assets (mains, valves, hydrants, service connections, PRVs, meters) in the EAM system, synchronized with the utility GIS so that spatial features and maintainable objects stay aligned. GIS typically remains the system of record for location and connectivity while EAM holds the maintenance, cost, and work history view. EPA asset management guidance makes the asset inventory the foundational component of the asset management plan.
Execution steps
6 steps
The sequence somebody actually follows in IFS Cloud, step by step, written for a person doing the work rather than for a diagram.
Data requirements
10 requirements
Every entity this process needs, mapped to its IFS object, marked mandatory or optional, with the source system it comes from. This is the list a data migration is built from.
Configuration decisions
5 decisions
The choices this process forces you to make in IFS, named up front. Finding these in week nine of a program is what makes week nine expensive.
KPIs
4 measures
What this process is measured on, so the reporting requirement is known before the process is configured rather than after go-live.
Integration points
5 integrations
Where this process has to talk to something outside IFS, and what crosses the boundary.
Workshop questions
6 questions
The questions to ask the business about this process, written before the workshop. This is the difference between a design session and a discussion.
Prerequisites
3 prerequisites
What has to be true before this process can run at all: master data, other processes, setup completed elsewhere.
Industry variants
3 variants
How this process differs by industry: the parts a utility does differently from a manufacturer, already worked out rather than discovered.
Process diagram
1 BPMN diagram
A real BPMN diagram, editable in the platform, not a picture of one. It is the same diagram your team will annotate in the workshop.
Sources
3 citations
Where this came from. Every process traces back to IFS documentation and release notes, so a claim about how IFS behaves can be checked rather than believed.
Every process in the library looks like this.
42 details are already worked out for this one process. A license opens them, and the other 619 processes with them.
