The Six Myths of Asset Management

Reality Check: You don't have enough money to do all that you need for your infrastruture.

The Truth: Asset management can help. But you've got to avoid the pitfalls.

Perhaps hard times and deteriorating infrastructure haven't reached the hallowed streets and drainage systems of Jupiter Island, Florida (the most expensive zip code in America), but across the rest of the U.S. of A, we are trying to do more with less. Hence the lure of asset management.

Asset management does mean different things to different people, but the fundamental goal is to prolong the useful life of our infrastructure, as cost effectively as possible.

We believe in asset management. Not as an overblown, high dollar "solution", but as a practical, real world system for making decisions that stretch dollars and keep constituents happy.

This is not a primer on how to create an asset management system. It's a collection of our observations of the myths about asset management. We hope to save you from the lies, fallacies and half truths, so that you can reap the real and quantifiable rewards of asset management.
