Decision Optimization Technology™ (DOT™) is the next-generation asset management and capital planning software designed to help you maintain your aging infrastructure, boost the impact of your tax dollars and plot a course for the future with confidence. DOT™ provides data management and life-cycle cost optimization across all asset classes for integrated and comprehensive asset management and capital planning.
Prioritization and cost benefit analysis methodologies alone cannot navigate an asset management or capital plan’s complexity. DOT™ uses years of doctorate-level research on optimization algorithms to create customized multiyear, multi-constraint capital plans. DOT™ has the flexibility to reflect your unique requirements and consider socio-economic and risk factors in your analytical process.
For a practical decision support tool to produce the right plan, the civil engineering must be right. With support and input from industry experts, we have applied four years of rigorous engineering research to the DOT™ analytical process.
The DOT™ user interface is intuitive, easy to use and gives you the ability to run and compare multiple scenarios on-screen. The system generates analyses and reports that are presentation- and plan-ready. Your strategy will back up your funding requests and help you gain support from your decision-makers, your field staff and your community.
Implementable asset management and capital plans require an in-depth understanding of conditions, deterioration behaviors, preventive maintenance benefits, treatment alternatives and their associated cost and service life improvements. DOT™ incorporates more than four years of rigorous civil engineering research and development (R&D), industry expert insights and the hands-on experience of municipal engineers into its decision-making processes.
DOT™ uses years of doctorate-level R&D on advanced multiyear, multi-constraint optimization methods to determine the highest attainable ROI and investment efficiency. Our “True Optimization” capability guarantees a scientifically proven and mathematically verifiable best possible fund allocation solution. Compared to legacy solutions using dated analytical methods, DOT™ consistently yields a substantially higher added performance and cost savings.
Infrastructure Solutions Inc. surveyed 100 government clients and confirmed that planning decisions are heavily influenced by socio-economic factors such as community support, council priority, alignment with strategic plans, access to health services and many more. Unique to the asset management and capital planning industry, DOT™ considers major political and socio-economic factors in its analytical processes.
DOT™ provides onscreen scenario comparisons and produces visual aids that display the impact of your planning decisions and how they affect the overall network. When your fully defensible and implementable recommendations are formed, DOT™ generates easy to read and customizable reports that are presentation ready, giving you the tools you need to gain decision-maker and stakeholder support.
