Why do you need Springboard?

Edocuments Platform was built to deliver process and data driven Information for the whole asset lifecycle.

 

The process includes;  structuring, coding, rule setting, template design, collaborative authoring & reviewing, export, exchange, output and update. 

 

 

Information Assurance & Quality

information Assurance for built assets is an essential requirement in an organisation. 

 

Good governance of information management is increasingly required by Customers as they learn the value of good data and how this can inform their business decisions. 

 

Edocuments provides software tools and processes to demonstrate information compliance from content creation through delivery and into operations. Built-in data entry tools and automatic validation reduces errors and ensures conformity. 

 

Standardized templates and workflows help manage information in line with industry standards from ISO19650, BS1192, CIBSE, BSRIA, Uniclass to Clients specific. 

In-depth event recording ensure all transactions about the information are captured to provide an audit trail and ensure a single source of truth for all information - data, metadata* and events.

The goal is to improve certainty and assurance for built assets.

 

Productivity Improvements

All organizations use multiple platforms and tools to share information, with email and file sharing sites still being the most common. These tools are not designed to manage structured data and content.

 

Edocuments platform creates a 'data model' which is not to be confused with a 3D graphical model to focus on the data within the files. The Edocuments data model improves productivity by structuring data and information making it easy to organise and share. Excel is an example of structured data, as it organises all information in rows and columns making it easy to store, analyse and search.

 

Edocuments software builds on this structured data principle by further adding classification tables, information rules sets**, validation tools and process workflows. 

 

Reduce costs by sharing data, removing duplication, reducing errors and improve collaboration.

 

Collaboration, extensibility and connectivity

An extensible architecture is designed to accommodate change and add new capabilities and functionality.

 

Interaction with their other data platforms increases user engagement allowing information to be shared and visualized in their own software environments.

 

Edocuments platform can share data with other data platforms; 3D models, CAFM systems.

 

Using industry standard common exchange formats e.g. IFC,  COBie information can be transferred between software to reduce data transfer and software implementation times.

Edocuments platform API's enable file syncing and data transfer between software platforms, BMS, IOT to further increase efficiency and reduce errors.

 

Built to connect, share and collaborate

 

* Metadata - a set of data about the information e.g. a history of a file.

** Information Rule Sets - typically OIR (Organisational Information Requirements), PIR (Project Information Requirements), AIR (Asset Information Requirements).
