Benefits of an IBLM Solution, at a glance
Why Asset-Intensive Organisations are Changing
The result:
- Limited visibility of asset health and risk.
- Fragmented processes between planning and operations.
- Inefficient budgeting and reactive work.
- Compliance reporting that drains time and confidence.
- Duplication of data and missed opportunities for optimisation.
SPM Assets and Planon’s combined IBLM solution solves this by providing one source of trusted data - allowing every stakeholder to make decisions from the same foundation.
Data Confidence Starts with the Asset Register
That’s why IBLM begins with creating a component-level asset register a detailed digital inventory that identifies, describes, and assesses every element of your buildings, from critical plant to internal finishes and external fabric.
It captures each unique component’s condition, age, replacement cost, and remaining life, producing a data set that reflects the true state of the built environment.
This foundation becomes the heart of the IBLM model:
- A single, standardised data structure across sites and asset types.
- A living source of truth that drives lifecycle forecasting and risk profiling.
- The baseline for continuous improvement and ERP integration.
When organisations trust their data, they can plan long-term with confidence, prioritise investments accurately, and demonstrate accountability to stakeholders.
Better data builds better portfolios.
Breaking Down the Silos between Assets and Facilities
For decades, asset and facility managers have operated in separate worlds:
- Asset managers focusing on long-term renewal and capital planning.
- Facility managers focusing on maintenance and service delivery.
Each has insight; neither sees the full picture.
SPM Assets and Planon’s combined IBLM solution breaks these silos:
- Asset managers understand how every maintenance action affects lifecycle cost. Facility managers see future renewal schedules and funding priorities.
- Finance teams gain real-time, auditable reporting across the whole lifecycle.
- Everyone works in the same environment, from the same trusted data.
