Riva Modeling Systems Inc. is a leading supplier of software solutions for infrastructure Asset Investment Planning, Asset Capital Planning, Asset Optimization, and Asset Analytics.
The RIVA (Real-time Infrastructure Valuation Analysis) platform, now in Version 4, came into being in the mid 2000s, created by Riva’s founder Ian Woodbury. At that time Ian was developing asset management database structures for the municipal sector. He recognized a gap between data storage and information extraction and that inspired him to begin building software tools for converting data into actionable information.
At the outset Ian recognized a key deficiency in the few existing asset processing software products, a complete lack of integration between Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software, Maintenance Management software (MMS) and Geospatial (GIS) software. So he built integration into the core of the Riva platform. Consequently, Riva is unparalleled in its ability to connect with and exchange data between SAP, Oracle, ESRI, Microsoft, Intergraph, and nearly every other enterprise level software system. This integration allows for real-time interaction with your data which is essential functionality in a useful asset planning software system.
The second major issue was that existing products forced companies to change their business practices to those dictated by the software, often with disaterous results. Ian took the opposite approach and built Riva to be a flexible system, configurable to any existing methodology and business practice. The benefits to your organization are numerous including smooth adoption, improved productivity, and enhanced creativity through leveraging your expertise.
The combination of real-time data interaction and the ability to apply your own business methodologies and algorithms opens up a new world of possibilities, stimulating creativity throughout your organization. At Riva we strive to create software that expands the horizon of possibility. |
