Asset & Resource Management (ARM) Suite

Providing for the management of your critical operation data

CGI’s Asset & Resource Management (ARM) Suite is a business tool box that can be applied as an entire suite or as individual components. It offers organizational control over asset, work, resource and field processes and provides for the collection of critical operational data. ARM delivers superior integration, automated task progression, and a single point of truth for managing work and resources.

The ARM suite can be integrated with GIS, supply chain, service inspection, timesheet, human resource and other strategic systems to maximize the business process.

The rich and complete functionality of the ARM Suite includes:

• Work Manager – A work management solution that provides a single business platform for initiating, tracking, designing, scheduling, reporting and closing all types of work.
• Resource Manager – Managing your resources, whether human or otherwise, is a company’s greatest expense. To do it right, you need tools that gain efficiencies while improving your enterprise visibility and control.
• Scheduler – A manual and automated scheduling system that optimizes resource and travel costs for complex multi-crew, multi-task and multi-day work.
• Optimizer – Continuous scheduling and dispatch algorithm that examines hundreds of constraints including unplanned events, work type, crew qualifications, location and priority.
• Appointment Maker – A real time picture of existing demand and crew availability that identifies available times and their associated costs.
• Asset Manager – Unifies all asset data within a single registry to facilitate compliance tracking, maintenance management, asset planning and asset risk management.
• Field Manager – A complete mobile workforce management solution that enables wireless dispatch, real-time updates, and back-office functions in the field.
• Performance Manager – A business intelligence module for data analysis, reporting, and performance monitoring with richer functionality than the traditional data warehouse.
• System Manager – An embedded integration platform that acts as the heart of CGI’s ARM Suite.

CGI’s ARM Express is a pre-configured implementation of the enterprise ARM suite targeted specifically for small and medium sized utilities. By working closely with our existing clients over numerous successful asset and work management implementations we have developed a set of processes that reflect best business practices. ARM Express is configured and tested to support these best practice processes right out of the box. The result is a significantly accelerated implementation schedule and a reduced demand on your valuable and scarce resources.
