The Hub - Capabilities & Benefits

A Digital Information Management Solution

The Digital Information Hub is not a single product. It is an integrated solution comprising applications, resources and services, tailored to fulfil the unique and constantly evolving needs of each individual customer. Its powerful capabilities and open, standards-compliant architecture (ISO 15926) support the widest possible range of business processes and choice of software solutions, enabling easy integration with existing system and the flexibility to adapt to evolving technology. The Hub’s information-centric technology enables effective information sharing throughout the enterprise and across other business systems.

The Digital Information Hub defined

  • A centralised, secure store of information and its associated relationships
  • An ISO 15926-compliant information resource to control standards, access, and modification
  • A user-friendly environment for collaboration, search, visualisation and contextualisation
  • A management tool for modelling business processes for improved decision making
  • A single source of trusted information for AVEVA applications and third-party products
  • An information-centric architecture that supports consistent, accurate and dynamic reporting
  • A flexible and powerful resource that adapts to changing business and technical priorities

Open and Flexible

Because the Digital Information Hub is not a rigid, application-centric foundation that only supports products from a single vendor, it provides a highly flexible framework enabling you to choose those applications and operational strategies most appropriate for your business. The Hub allows you to integrate AVEVA’s own world-class applications, as well as those from other vendors.

This flexibility reflects the complex reality of business operations. It provides you with a solution that can be deployed in a manner and timescale defined by your business needs or constraints. It can be adapted incrementally, selecting new technology as needed and progressively integrating existing applications, without disrupting business or asset operations.

AVEVA's Digital Information Hub maximises productivity across your business, providing a competitive advantage today and in the future.

UNMATCHED SOLUTIONS

Because the Digital Information Hub’s architecture is information-centric, not application-centric, it is not restricted to specific disciplines, industries, or vendors’ technologies. In fact, it could be employed by any industry that deals with vast amounts of disparate information. But combining this power and versatility with AVEVA's world-leading engineering and design applications and decades of industry experience can provide unmatched enterprise solutions for both the plant and marine industries.

Because every business uses information in its own particular ways and for many different purposes and priorities, individual deployments of the Digital Information Hub deliver a mix of benefits unique to the individual customer.

Some of the most significant benefits reported by customers are:

  • Reduced project handover costs - as high as 90% reduction in one well-documented case
  • Accelerated ramp-up to full performance - 90%+ tag data completeness by first oil, for example
  • Substantially increased plant maintenance productivity, through dramatic reductions in time spent searching for, and verifying, information
  • Reduced asset downtime, through a combination of better planned and executed preventive maintenance and more rapid and effective response to unplanned downtime.
  • Reduced costs of regulatory compliance reporting


Frequently, an AVEVA deployment aimed at achieving particular business benefits goes on to deliver unexpected additional benefits as users begin to discover new ways of exploiting their information assets. This is a true enabling technology, limited only by your imagination!
