• Bechtel has been doing interoperability for over 110 years • How can that be? Interoperability: What is it?

• Wikipedia: – “Interoperability is a property referring to the ability of diverse systems and organizations to work together (inter-operate). The term is often used in a technical systems engineering sense, or alternatively in a broad sense, taking into account social, political, and organizational factors that impact system to system performance.” Interoperability: What is it?

• Robin’s definition:

“To communicate” What are the aspects of Interoperability? • Who: Everyone • What: Information • How: Some kind of medium • When: As often as necessary • Why: To live long and prosper So what is the challenge with Interoperability? • Fact: Interoperability happens • Challenge: The cost of doing it – Too much ambiguity – Too many mistakes in interpreting – Subject matter is incomprehensible – There is a lot of confusion – Stakeholders have different motives – Conflicts of interest Information Management

• Information is the lifeblood of our operation • A significant influence on the success of our projects is dependent on how we handle, manage, and understand information and information Competency • A change in how we “do” information is where a significant opportunity lies that will improve our performance and delivered quality Introducing the • Processing: – People are very smart but are also slow – are very fast but are also dumb • Applications are controlled environments where the “smarts” are embedded and operated by the speed of computers – Productivity and quality improvement is gained • In our business, the greater portion of our information lies outside an application – This is where the opportunity lies Information Processing

Actual Automation

Time  Use of computers has resulted in performance and quality improvement but gains are not keeping pace with investment and expectations Information Competency • Do we know what Information Competency is? – Information principles – Best practices – An understanding of how it directly correlates to operating costs • Information Competency is not a technology thing • Information Competency is a new discipline that must be incorporated into the business Information Competency Example: • A valve identifier – Must uniquely identify a valve – When computer processing a traditional identifier, ambiguity can contribute to information loss

IT Organization • An IM organization should be a horizontal organization under the functions with a prominent interface into the IT organization – IM is business driven not technology driven BIM – Building Information Modeling

BIM – Cost optimization for lifecycle facility performance
