Asset Management is the holistic management of all asset classes that allows organisations to optimise performance.

3 Our expertise We have two decades experience in delivering solutions that are tailored to meet our clients needs, across all asset classes. We can help you to improve your performance through: Better real estate management and facilities management Portfolio strategy and planning Procurement strategy and implementation Process and organisational design Sustainable real estate and facilities management Better Asset Management Strategy and diagnostics Strategic procurement and outsourcing Sustainable asset management Workforce management Better Asset Management systems Asset Management consulting Asset Management systems implementation IBM Maximo asset and service management Better programme and change management Capital programme management Business case development Procurement strategy and management Change management IBM is taking our clients to the next generation of Asset Management through strategy, process and technology programmes. These address emerging trends such as sustainable (green) asset management; collaborative asset supply chain management; intelligent assets and condition-based analytics; mobile workforce management; capital programme portfolio management; business process outsourcing; and Asset Management systems consolidation along with through life application management.

4 Better real estate management and facilities management Portfolio strategy and planning Procurement strategy and implementation Process and organisational design Workplace transformation Sustainable real estate and facilities management Many organisations fail to make the best use of offices, factories and warehouses.yet property assets are probably one of the largest items on your balance sheet. In our experience, introducing best practice shows that you can improve the way you use your property and reduce your costs by as much as 15-20%.

5 Portfolio strategy and planning Southwest One Property and facilities management transformation Southwest One is a joint venture company comprising IBM, Somerset County Council, Taunton Deane Borough Council and the Avon and Somerset Constabulary. As part of a broad transformation agenda, we are working with the client bodies to transform property and facilities management from three separate organisations with a total of over 200 staff into a single, customer-facing organisation. In addition, we are rationalising over 100 property related systems into a streamlined and integrated property management solution. Our team is looking to repeat the success it has had delivering significant property savings in the past. Previous examples include reducing facilities management spend for a global manufacturer and rationalising the IBM UK property portfolio. In both cases, savings in excess of 10% were achieved. Property Carbon Audit We have developed a competitive diagnostic of an organisation s real estate carbon contribution. Maturity profiling through staff interviews are combined with data analysis and benchmarking to identify carbon reduction opportunities. Our property management carbon fact sheet provides further details and can be found at ibm.com/services/uk/bcs/pdf/ibm_facilities.pdf Sustainable Facilities Management procurement strategy A major UK Government Department needed to re-procure its facilities management for 250 buildings and to reduce costs whilst improving environmental sustainability. In doing so, it sought to create mechanisms that incentivised the supply chain to reinvest savings into sustainability initiatives. IBM Asset Management: Compared the environmental performance of the buildings in their estate. Engaged with the facilities management-supply market to understand their ability to drive sustainability through a longterm contract. Developed a strategy for re-procuring facilities management incorporating sustainability performance measures. Assessed the maturity of the client s property organisation in managing sustainability. Benefits included estimated financial savings of 10% of core facilities management costs with additional savings identified for utilities and project costs. Included were realistic investment levels by the supply chain and a mechanism for driving sustainability through the property portfolio, over the period of the contract. Process and organisational design The Home Office Estates organisation change programme The Home Office managed its real estate operations of over 2,000 buildings within a mixture of small, local departments and larger, business-focused operations. There was a desire to amalgamate these functions into a shared-service Centre of Excellence for estates and a need to drive down costs in line with Government targets. Our team: Rationalised the estates functions through the design and implementation of an Estates Shared Service Centre model. Supported the re-procurement of facilities management, estates and projects contracts. The benefits were substantial. Annual savings of around 40 million and the formation of an Estate shared services organisation that aligned with industry best practice processes and procedures.

6 Better asset management Plant and Production Strategy and diagnostics Business transformation and performance improvement Strategic procurement and outsourcing Sustainable asset management Workforce management Mobile Assets and Infrastructure In addition to the traditional issues such as maintenance cost and availability, fleet managers must place increasing focus on rising fuel prices and capital management as a way to manage the total lifecycle cost of critical mobile assets. Achieving the desired levels of performance depends on successful integration of cross-functional interests, tasks and capabilities within an organisation. It is not just about the optimisation of the maintenance function lowest maintenance cost does not mean lowest total cost. Recognising the trade-offs between capital and operating expenditure can reduce an organisation s working capital and significantly impact its bottom line. IBM can help you increase asset utilisation, output, economic life, and the reliability of systems and components, while reducing capital investment, maintenance costs, and the total number of systems and components.

7 Strategy and diagnostics British Energy Nuclear Generation Asset Supply Chain Strategy British Energy is an asset intensive, geographically dispersed organisation in a safety critical industry. We worked with them to reduce costs, improve performance and transform the Asset Supply Chain, including: A rapid diagnostic to frame the issues. Development of a thorough Supply Chain strategy. Production of an implementation road-map. Introducing risk/reward partnering contracts. The white paper An evaluation of the capability and capacity of the UK and global supply chains to support a nuclear build programme in the UK, can be accessed online at ibm.com/services/uk/ igs/pdf/05-igs pdf Our work resulted in multi-million pound cost savings and working capital reduction both in excess of business case targets. In addition, Supply Chain safety performance improved by 300%, the supplier base was rationalised from 12,000 to 1,600 and output-based incentivation contracts were developed. A critical factor [in selecting IBM] was its unique Physical Asset Management expertise leveraged with skills in procurement, supply chain and inventory management. John Sexton, Head of Supply Chain for British Energy. Business transformation and performance improvement Ministry of Defence Asset performance improvement and cost reduction ChevronTexaco Upstream petroleum maintenance improvement programme The Ministry of Defence needed to reduce the cost of delivering Defence Logistics outputs by 20% over a five-year period. We worked with the Ministry of Defence to deliver an asset performance management improvement programme comprising: ChevronTexaco needed to reduce outsourced maintenance spend by 25%, without impacting the reliability or availability of its two principal North Sea producing platforms. We used our business and asset maintenance experience to help ChevronTexaco: Spares inventory optimisation. Repair programme management. Contract rationalisation and management. Modification strategy review. Introduction of performance targets and management. Revise their maintenance strategy and tactics. Rationalise sub-contracted service provision and improve contract management. Implement robust budget control. Enforce comprehensive use of SAP. Revise drill rig maintenance. Our approach resulted in a 600 million reduction in asset and inventory levels with a further programmed cost reduction of 100 million per year. This comprehensive approach has put ChevronTexaco on track to meet its financial targets and improved the reliability and availability of valuable plant equipment.

9 Asset management systems consulting Home Office Estates Review Systems Strategy The Home Office has an estate of over 2,000 sites across the UK operated by over 40 independent property units and served by over 200 contracts. We helped: The Estate s Management Information System was targeted to centralise and improve the quality of information to enhance planning, investment and decision-making. Rationalise and consolidate into two property Centres of Excellence (one for offices, one for prisons).

10 Better programme and change management Capital programme accelerator Strategic programme management Business case development Procurement strategy and management Programme start-up Organisations are increasingly looking at their capital programmes to support and drive the change agenda. We can help, across all asset classes, in two ways: defining and implementing strategic programmes and, through our accelerator, increasing dramatically the capability and performance of client teams. We have earned an excellent reputation for helping clients to deliver on their change journeys. We have worked with our clients to improve programme management of all asset classes, helping them to develop their business cases, carry out options appraisals and set up and manage their capital programmes.

11 Better programme and change management Ministry of Defence Main Building Redevelopment The Ministry of Defence successfully used a 25-year PFI programme to transform its Whitehall Headquarters to a bright, modern, flexible and inspiring working environment for its 3,300 head office staff. Ministry of Defence Main Building was delivered on budget, ahead of schedule and the change programme has proved a benchmark for others in supporting the transformation of the workplace. Our team supported the Ministry of Defence through development of the business case, procurement, and negotiation. We also continued to provide change management support to shape, deliver and advise on the change programme. The programme: Reduced London Footprint from 8 to 3 buildings. Increased occupancy by 25%. Transformed the way the Head Office operated. Procurement process management Ministry of Defence PFI Programme management The Ministry of Defence established Project Allenby Connaught as an 8 billion PFI to build, refurbish, manage and operate living and working accommodation for 18,000 military and civilian staff at Aldershot and five garrisons on Salisbury Plain. As lead advisor we: Workplace Transformation DVLA Planning and Implementing Workplace Transformation The Driver and Vehicle and Licensing Agency wished to optimise the use of property assets within their campus site, whilst promoting a more flexible and dynamic set or working practices amongst their staff. Developed the procurement strategy. Assisted with business case and programme management. Worked to determine the sweet spot to mitigate risk and satisfy the Ministry of Defence, commercial bidders and the funding institutions. IBM consultants played a pivotal role in developing the commercial framework for the project, developing and implementing procurement strategies, handling negotiations with commercial consortia and finalising contracts with the preferred bidder. Mike Cooper, Ministry of Defence, Project Manager. Our team: Developed a business case demonstrating net present value savings of greater than 9 million over 10 years. Piloted a programme for 100 staff and rolled out the arrangements amongst the remaining 6,000 staff. Successfully managed the change, communications, technology and security programme to minimise the potential adverse effects of change on the people and the organisation. The utilisation of the property assets increased by approximately 30% and enhanced working practices and productivity amongst the 6,000 staff.
