The methodology and the analysis methods developed are supported by the AWARE-P IAM planning software, a web-based, collaborative environment for a wide variety of data and processes relevant to the IAM decision-making process, including maps, GIS geodatabases; inventory records; work orders, maintenance, inspections/CCTV records; network models, kPIs, asset valuation records.

The software provides an organized framework for evaluating and comparing planning alternatives or competing IAM solutions, through selected performance, risk and cost metrics. It comprises a portfolio of analysis tools that may also be used individually for diagnosis and sensitivity gain.

It is based on a modular Java platform, and materializes as an integrated, expandable suite of plug-in tools, taking advantage of common user management, data integration and next-generation 2D/3D visualization capabilities with Google Earth® integration. It currently has a community of over 1000 registered users in 5 continents.
