The CAMS platform is designed to streamline asset management by structuring entities into organisations, modules, and stakeholders. Each component serves a unique purpose, allowing for efficient asset tracking and management.
1. Organisations
An organisation in CAMS represents an individual entity that manages specific assets. These can range from councils to private companies or institutions.
-
Purpose:
- Houses and manages data related to assets such as buildings, bridges, and roads.
- Operates independently, with its own modules and data.
-
Key Features:
- Each organisation can have multiple modules tailored to their specific needs.
- Permissions and access controls are defined for each organisation.
-
Examples:
- A city council overseeing municipal infrastructure.
- A university managing campus facilities.
2. Modules
Modules are specific areas of functionality within an organisation. Each module focuses on managing a particular type of asset.
-
Types of Modules:
- Buildings: For offices, schools, and commercial facilities.
- Bridges: For structural management of crossings and overpasses.
- Roads: For highways, streets, and pavements.
-
Purpose:
- Provides tailored tools and workflows for managing each asset type.
- Enables targeted data entry, reporting, and analysis specific to the module.
-
Key Benefits:
- Streamlined data organisation for each type of facility.
- Flexibility to add or customise modules based on organisational needs.
3. Stakeholders
Stakeholders represent accounts that have cross-organisational access. Unlike organisations, which operate independently, stakeholders can access data from multiple organisations, enabling unified oversight.
-
Purpose:
- Provide access to data across multiple organisations without duplicating roles.
- Enhance unified asset management by offering a holistic view of related entities.
-
Key Features:
- Stakeholders do not collaborate across organisations but enable data access and alignment.
- Permissions can be tailored to restrict access to specific data within organisations.
-
Examples:
- A regional governing body with access to data from multiple councils.
- A private firm managing assets for several client organisations.
How to create/request
Currently, you can request the creation of these organisations, modules and stakeholders by raising a ticket with our support team. Please see this article on how to contact us
How They Work Together
- Organisations form the primary structure, grouping all data and modules.
- Modules manage specific asset types within each organisation.
- Stakeholders enable cross-access to multiple organisations, providing oversight and enabling unified asset management.
Benefits of This Structure
- Scalability: New organisations, modules, and stakeholders can be added as required.
- Flexibility: Each organisation can customise modules to suit its needs.
- Unified Oversight: Stakeholders facilitate a broader perspective by enabling cross-organisational data access.
By understanding the relationship between organisations, modules, and stakeholders, users can effectively utilise CAMS to manage assets and ensure data is structured and accessible for streamlined decision-making.
