Asset operations involve vast quantities of information – data and documents – that continuously evolve. Owner Operators therefore need sophisticated means for managing their information. Engineering Information Management (EIM) concerns the management and use of a plant’s entire information asset to ensure regulatory compliance and efficient, safe operations. Accordingly, the scope of EIM includes:

• integration, management and handover of engineering information
• information access and retrieval
• information security
• change impact analysis
• information integrity
• management of as-operating data
