asset management

As defined and portions extracted from the Asset Management Guide adopted by AASHTO, Asset Management is:

“…a strategic approach to managing … infrastructure. It focuses on … business processes for resource allocation and utilization with the objective or better decision-making based upon quality information and well-defined objectives.”

It answers asset management questions and the primary question put by Mary Peters, FHWA Administrator:

“If I have one additional dollar to spend … what is the most effective way to spend it?”

Axiom provides all of the software systems, tools, and consulting services, using a systematic approach and innovative technology to harness data into knowledge to answer that question for our clients.

Our solutions and products focus on not only the cost but the benefits of investment to maximize the health of the asset network as a whole or conversely determine how the lack of investment will result in network deterioration. As our clients are being held increasingly accountable for the investment of scarcer resources for aging infrastructure, our solutions provide the information to take the best decision of how to spend that dollar and document in clear, understandable, and justifiable terms how, when, and why resources should be committed.
