Salt Lake City’s infrastructure management was disjointed across four departments using separate, incompatible software systems for decades. The Transportation, Streets, Parks and Public Lands, and Facilities groups operated out of different city buildings—and previously distributed work orders on paper through interoffice mail. To further complicate matters, each department had a unique asset management termilogy to refer to similar things. These issues made it impossible to calculate accurate condition indexes, develop preventative maintenance plans, and communicate budgetary requirements to city leaders. Salt Lake City faced a dire need for operational cohesion and standardization when it came to infrastructure management. Today, all four departments work together under the public services umbrella—pairing modern asset management software with GIS to improve workflows, streamline cross-department communication, get rid of old databases, capture data to guide budgeting decisions, and increase productivity across the team. After this session, participants will be able to:
• Identify ways to unify asset management practices across departments.
• Save time with process improvement and workflow automation.
• Determine the value of capturing infrastructure data to guide spending decisions.
