 What role does Asset Management play in the City of Beaumont?

A combination of Cityworks (AMS) and GIS (Geographic Information System) are used as the primary asset management system in the City of Beaumont.

• Asset information is entered into the GIS then accessed by Cityworks.
• Cityworks allows Operators to apply any repair/maintenance costs to assets.
• Through preventive maintenance inspections, an asset lifecycle can be tracked and extended. Cityworks provides an asset condition score after inspections are completed. This condition score can be applied to a graph to provide a visual representation of an asset’s lifecycle.
• Asset management systems can assign an estimated life span to an asset. Budgets can then be set to include asset replacement on a proactive schedule instead of a reactive occurrence.
• Residents can aid the city with its asset management system by calling in or using the Service Beaumont portal to report issues with the city assets.
