TECHNOLOGY & DATA / ARCHIBUS

Archibus consulting, configuration and operational support.

PSGroup supports organisations using Archibus to manage workplace, space, assets, maintenance, moves and real estate information across complex operational environments.

Our role can range from functional analysis and configuration to data preparation, CAD integration, testing, upgrades, user support and continuous optimisation.

Archibus expertise

Archibus connects building information with the processes used to organise workplace and real estate operations. PSGroup helps clients review how their configuration reflects those processes and what information users need to carry out their responsibilities. Our work covers Space Management, Move Management, Asset Management, Maintenance and Service Desk, together with workplace and employee location information. The starting point is the client’s actual environment, its functional requirements and the relationships between the people using the platform.

Building and room data, CAD integration and reporting support these activities across the platform. We help examine how information is recorded, how workflows are configured and how operational processes are followed. For example, employee location depends on a consistent space structure, while maintenance and service activity rely on the relevant assets, classifications and responsibilities being available to users. Functional analysis helps connect these dependencies with the intended outcome.

Within a wider IWMS consulting assignment, PSGroup can support requirements, configuration reviews and implementation work in coordination with client teams and other technical stakeholders. The scope is agreed around the functions in use and the questions to be resolved, with clear attention to everyday operations.

Data & CAD

Reliable information is a central part of an Archibus environment. Buildings, floors and rooms form the physical structure to which employees, organisational data, assets and equipment are connected. Room categories and room types help classify spaces, while naming conventions make identifiers understandable across records and drawings. PSGroup works with these structures directly, examining relationships, classifications and source information as part of data preparation, corrections and migration activities.

CAD drawings need to remain consistent with the database records that describe the building. A changed room identifier, revised layout or new floor can affect employee location, reports and the processes used by operational teams. We help review these connections, prepare drawing and data updates and validate that the relevant records remain aligned. The same attention applies to equipment and asset information, where incomplete links or inconsistent classifications can affect how teams follow operational activity.

Our CAD & BIM expertise supports the organisation of building information and its connection to workplace systems. Data work is considered alongside operational processes so that updates are understandable and maintainable. Responsibilities, naming rules and validation steps help client teams keep drawings and records consistent as their portfolio evolves.

Testing, upgrades and change

An upgrade or configuration change needs to be assessed against the functions that users depend on. PSGroup helps prepare functional scenarios for test environments, covering relevant workflows, data relationships and expected outcomes. User acceptance testing provides a structured way for operational teams to review the result in their own context. Regression testing also helps check that existing processes continue to behave as expected after a change.

Upgrade preparation can include reviewing the data used for testing, identifying dependencies and organising scenarios around the functions in scope. We support issue analysis by comparing observed behaviour with the intended process and the information available in the environment. Data validation is part of this review, alongside workflow checks and the guidance needed by users. Findings are documented so that client teams and technical stakeholders can follow the matters requiring attention.

Change tracking helps maintain visibility over decisions, configuration updates, data corrections and outstanding issues. PSGroup can assist with the preparation and follow-up of these records during an upgrade project. The purpose is to give the teams involved a clear basis for validation, communication and the next operational step, without treating a successful software installation as the only completion criterion.

Operational support

After implementation, the platform needs to remain aligned with changes in buildings, teams and operating arrangements. PSGroup supports clients through troubleshooting, configuration reviews, data corrections and process improvement. This may involve a workflow that does not produce the expected result, room information that needs updating or a report that requires a closer examination of its underlying records. We help frame the question, review the available evidence and identify the areas requiring further investigation.

Operational support also depends on coordination between the people who use the platform and those who maintain its technical environment. PSGroup helps translate operational observations into functional questions, follow the information needed for analysis and support discussions with client teams, integrators and software providers. Responsibilities remain clear, with proposed corrections or configuration changes considered in the context of the client’s processes.

Where recurring issues indicate a wider need, we can help review update procedures, classifications, user guidance and the flow of information between teams. Continuous optimisation follows practical priorities: keeping data usable, improving process consistency and helping users understand the actions required. Clients can contact PSGroup to discuss an existing environment and define the appropriate scope of support.

Independent approach

PSGroup works as an independent specialist, focused on how Archibus supports the client’s workplace and real estate responsibilities. Our advice considers the building, the data and the operational process together. We help clarify requirements before proposing changes, and distinguish questions of configuration, information quality and working practice so that the teams involved have a shared understanding of the matter to be addressed.

This approach supports collaboration with client stakeholders, integrators and software providers. Functional recommendations are grounded in the environment being reviewed and the objectives agreed with the client. Direct involvement can extend from initial analysis to testing and operational follow-up, helping maintain continuity between a decision, its implementation and its use by the teams concerned.

Based in Luxembourg and working in international project environments, PSGroup can support organisations across locations while respecting local responsibilities and established governance. Each assignment is defined around its scope, available information and operational priorities. The aim is to help the platform remain consistent with the client’s real environment and to provide clear, practical support as that environment changes.
