The role of capacity management within UIIM
As part of the Universal Intelligent Infrastructure Management (UIIM) framework, Capacity Management connects environmental, infrastructure, and operational layers. It amplifies insights when integrated with:
- Asset management
- Provisioning & work orders
- Connectivity & stock management
Together, these modules form a unified operational control layer, replacing fragmented systems with coordinated, data-led decision-making.
