Project Overview:

As the Director of Technology and Development, I led the development and deployment of the Assets Mapping & Collaboration Tool, an innovative platform designed to visualize and manage client work by integrating data from our internal systems with external client data, such as SAP. This project was a key initiative that involved overseeing an offshore development team to iterate on the prototype, while our onshore teams continued to focus on existing products. The successful collaboration between global talent and in-house expertise allowed us to create a powerful tool that redefines asset management and visualization for our clients.

Software Features

Assets is a state-of-the-art platform that revolutionizes how organizations manage and visualize their assets. By seamlessly integrating data visualization with stakeholder engagement and workflow processes, Assets unlocks valuable insights and enhances collaboration. Key features include

• Asset Visualization
  The platform provides a dynamic map-based interface that visualizes assets with multiple display options. Users can customize layers to gain comprehensive insights into their asset portfolios, enhancing understanding and decision-making.
• Efficient Asset Browsing
  Users can easily browse assets through a user-friendly list view, with the ability to customize columns based on data categories. These configurations can be saved for quick access, streamlining data accessibility and personalizing the user experience.
• Intelligent Asset Filtering
  The application allows users to search for assets using diverse criteria, such as geographical parameters, technical attributes, stakeholder involvement, assessments, and recommendations. This versatile filtering capability enhances asset discovery and supports informed decision-making.
• Comprehensive Asset Details
  A detailed datasheet provides in-depth insights into each asset, including technical data, geographical information, hazard assessments, stakeholder details, past assessments, and recommendations, all from a centralized interface.
• Visual Asset Gallery
  The platform features a carousel-style gallery that allows users to quickly review asset images, facilitating efficient visual assessment and identification.
• Robust Export Functionality
  Users can export customized asset lists and portfolios in Excel format, tailoring output columns and formatting to meet specific project needs, thereby streamlining report generation and data sharing.
• Layer Management
  The application supports easy management of GIS layers, whether from publicly available datasets or user-uploaded geo-located spreadsheets and shape files, providing flexibility and enriching the asset data.
• Portfolio Management
  Users can organize and save filtered results into static and dynamic portfolios, which can be shared with stakeholders as public lists, collaborated on within a team, or kept private for focused analysis and monitoring.
• Detailed Portfolio Insights
  The platform offers comprehensive insights into stakeholder activities, assessments, and recommendations within portfolios. Users can access analytics, historical logs, and facilitate collaboration and auditing through comments and feedback.
• Recommendation Collaboration
  Efficient collaboration on recommendations is made possible, with features to view, edit, and create new recommendations. The attributes of these recommendations can be customized to align with specific project workflows.
• Stakeholder Collaboration
  The platform promotes collaboration among stakeholders by enabling them to upload and share datasets, breaking down data silos and enhancing collective understanding of assets.
