Information Management

The IM group provides applications and support for engineering information management throughout the whole Organization and its different projects.

This includes for example mechanical CAD tools (such as CATIA), Product Lifecycle Management systems (Smarteam / Aras), the Engineering Data Management Service (EDMS) as well as the Enterprise Asset Management platform (EAM).

The group helps implementing and configuring these tools according to user needs while ensuring that coherent processes are applied and provides user training.

A key goal is to provide the tools required to manage and document the entire lifecycles of CERN’s equipment and installations – also known as “Digital Thread”.
