Level up your asset information – 5 reasons to migrate legacy building information
Many building owners struggle with fragmented data spread across various legacy systems. This can lead to inefficiencies as well as unnecessary costs for managing multiple systems.
Using a centralised, reliable system for all asset information can provide valuable insights for decision making and make accessing building information quicker and easier.
Migrating data from legacy systems can seem like a daunting prospect. In this blog, we share the benefits of migrating legacy building information to a single platform.
5 reasons why you should migrate your data
1. Compliance
Migrating data into a single platform is essential for maintaining compliance with regulations like the Building Safety Act. It centralises all building information, making it easily accessible and consistently up-to-date. When demonstrating compliance, this consolidation makes it easier to retrieve critical data during audits and inspections. Additionally, it minimises the risk of data breaches and ensures that regulatory requirements are met efficiently, with streamlined processes for auditing and reporting.
2. Collaboration
Migrating your data into a single platform not only centralises all your data and documents, it also creates a collaborative environment for better decision-making. With all information in one place, you can easily analyse trends, track performance and identify areas for improvement. This consolidation also breaks down data silos, ensuring your team has access to the same reliable information. As a result, collaboration becomes more seamless and efficient, leading to faster, more effective outcomes.
3. Future-ready data
Data migration is not just about solving current challenges. It’s about preparing for the future. A unified data platform ensures you are ready to embrace new technologies and modernise facilities. As technology evolves, having consolidated and well-structured data is key to leveraging innovations such as AI, machine learning and smart building technology.
4. Improve efficiency
Scattered information across different systems often leads to duplicated efforts and wasted time. Migrating asset information to a single platform reduces manual data entry and enables the creation of new workflows to automate processes. This boosts efficiency and frees up valuable time for your team to focus on more critical tasks.
5. Increase asset value
Maintaining accurate and comprehensive information during the operation of your asset significantly enhances its value when it comes time to sell or dispose of it. Potential buyers or stakeholders see immense value in well-documented assets, as it provides transparency, reduces perceived risk and demonstrates that the asset has been well-maintained. Accurate records of maintenance, upgrades and operational history can lead to better valuation and smoother transaction processes.
