FAQ

Need clarification?

How do we get started with Asset Engine?

Simply get in touch with us and we can walk you through the process.  However, the main thing is you can start from scratch with no existing asset management software or expertise and be up and running very quickly.  We can give you a tour of the platform and show you how to use all the key features and once you decide to subscribe we’ll arrange login details and a quick training session.  We’ll stick with you after that to make sure you have all the support you need on your journey!

What Assets can we manage on the platform

The base subscription will give you access to our “Structures” model which starts with the most complex and high risk assets in your portfolio, such as bridges, culverts, jetties, walkways and look outs and we can work with you to create entries for other bespoke structures.

What sort of data can we put into Asset Engine

The best way to start with Asset Engine is simply by using it and inputting the most recent data, building a live version of your portfolio as you go.  However, we can help by creating basic asset entries for you and even assist with developing more comprehensive entries from a variety of data sources.  It’s also possible to simply attach historical records and documents in several formats to the asset details page.

What level of training and expertise is required to use the platform?

Anyone can learn how to use the platform quickly thanks to its intuitive design and functionality.  We will provide an initial training session to run through the functionality with your team and can do the same with external contractors so they can start using it too.  After that you can access online training and trouble shooting guides 24/7.

How secure is our data and where is it kept?

Privacy and security of your data are not just a priority; they are foundational to our operations. Here's how we ensure the safety and integrity of your data:

  • Robust Cloud-Based Security: All data is securely stored on cloud-based servers. By leveraging advanced encryption and security protocols, we ensure your information is protected against unauthorised access and threats. The infrastructure is hosted within Australian Data Centres.
  • Australian Data Sovereignty Compliance: We are committed to adhering to Australian data sovereignty laws, ensuring all data is stored within Australia. This compliance aligns with the guidelines established by relevant Australian authorities, ensuring that your data is governed by the laws designed to protect it.
  • Partnership with Microsoft Azure: Our choice of Azure as our cloud provider is strategic. Azure is renowned not only for its robust infrastructure but also for being ISO27001 certified. This certification represents the gold standard in information security management systems, guaranteeing that our data storage solutions meet the highest security standards.
  • Adherence to International Security Standards: Our development practices are compliant to ISO27001 & SOC2 standards, emphasising our commitment to maintaining security, confidentiality, and privacy in our operations.
  • Cyber Security Insurance Protection: Recognising the importance of preparedness, the Product is covered under a Cyber Security Insurance Protection Policy. This coverage is designed to provide an additional layer of security, ensuring prompt and effective responses in the unlikely event of data loss.

How much does a subscription cost?

The opportunity for digital transformation shouldn’t be exclusive to the largest government bodies and organisations only.  At Asset Engine we have developed a pricing model based on revenue levels that allows LGAs with small populations but vast areas to still access our solution affordably.  Have a look at our pricing section to understand what tier you fall into and what your annual costs could look like.
