Advanced ​Asset Management

As infrastructure ages, it is critical for local governments to implement new technology that advances the management of that infrastructure.  At GPSD, we are pleased to have recognized the need for advanced asset management and have invested in the tools necessary to make how we manage our infrastructure as efficiently as possible.  

Advanced asset management is broadly defined as a body of management practices applied to the entire portfolio of infrastructure, seeking to minimize total cost, in a limited resource environment, while delivering on customer levels of service at an acceptable risk to the organization.
