Session Highlights
Our Day 1 agenda kicked off with diving into the dTIMS Experience, learning more about dTIMS BA and client case studies, as well as taking a closer look at dTIMS inspect for day-to-day asset inspection.
The dTIMS Experience – This presentation covered established asset management roadmaps, such as the Institute of Asset Management and Asset Management British Columbia, followed by discussing the dTIMS roadmap.
The dTIMS Experience – dTIMS BA – This session covered all things dTIMS BA! It highlighted news about the product from Deighton experts that know BA the best. A product owner interview with Rob Piane and Gary Ruck started us off. This interview focused on where we are and most importantly where we are going. The dTIMS BA product video highlighted additional tools available to help you get the most out of BA.

We also brought back a favourite of many past DUCs – the agency case studies. This section featured three case studies from around the world, highlighting why clients chose BA and what they did with it. These case studies were: Main Roads Western Australia Case Study by Lalinda Karunaratne, Zutari Case Study by Chris von Holdt, and Hawaii Department of Transportation Case Study by Deighton’s Jeff Zavitski.
The dTIMS Experience – dTIMS Inspect – This session explored how dTIMS Inspect connects asset managers with in-the-field experts through data collection and condition assessment using a mobile application. It began with a product video and live interview with Joel Beaulieu, product owner at Deighton and ended with an in-depth product demo.
Thank you to everyone who attended both in-person and virtually. We are excited to share this dTIMS experience with you and look forward to seeing everyone again tomorrow.
