Hi Anders, Thank you for your response. Have you seen any example of a asset design solution (excluding BIM) in IFS then? Perhaps if I can relate it to a 2D model, I can envision what it would be like with BIM. Are these BIM-object level items able to be imported from the model into IFS? Thanks! Hi, IFS offers the Asset Design product for handling BIM-data. I don’t think there are many cases where full integration from BIM => ERP has been fully realized. Maybe some cases in the UK? We are facing the same issues and have concluded that defining the asset structure defined down to BIM-object level and then demand the same structure from early design phases in a project is the key. Best Regards Anders
Please see my responses below in BOLD. Perhaps we can address this from your business requirements. What integration points are required with IFS? - The main integration point that is required is the bill of quantity (for the main contractor package) into a sub contract. What data needs to be exchanged? - All the data relating to the items, the full item description, the multiple POMI measurement levels, the quantity, the rate etc. All details that are captured in the BOQ need to be represented as a contract. Is the integration inbound, outbound, or bidirectional? - Only inbound required. Are you looking for a real-time integration or batch mode using data files? - Real time integration is what has been requested by the customer, however I am of the opinion that batch mode data file integration will be the best as the BOQ version needs to be confirmed and approved before it is imported into the system. Any additional information you can provide would be helpful.
