  4. Integrating Asset Registers What is an Asset Register? • An Asset Register contains essential information relating to various aspects of an asset portfolio. • The Asset Register may be computerised, card file or paper based and may contain the following asset data: • physical attributes; • technical data; • financial information; • property details; • maintenance data; and • performance and condition data Description, location and age Valuation and Depreciation

  5. Integrating Asset Registers Why Integrate Asset Registers? • The environment in which public assets operate has changed - information for organisations to manage their assets has also changed. • Increased demands for services have led to a focus on service delivery and whole of life asset management approach. • An Asset Register should be seen as the core of an agency’s information management system and should have the potential to integrate with other functional registers and systems.

  6. Integrating Asset Registers Manningham’s Experience • Asset Management System implemented - 1996 • System rollout was poorly planned. • No integration undertaken with other software systems • Critical review undertaken of AM System - 1999 • AM System not being fully utilised - Data out of date
