The SAE EIA-649, Standard for Configuration Management is a Configuration Management (CM) standard used by both governmental and private enterprises worldwide.

This standard provides the foundation of CM principles and graphic guidance used in regulated acquisition and enterprise environments.

This course will provide hands-on discussions and workshops related to the latest released EIA-649 principles and the associated best practices while giving real-world application methods.

Additionally, the session will discuss contemporary and advanced techniques for applying Configuration Management requirements and best practices within rapidly evolving digital design and manufacturing environments.

This three-day boot camp will facilitate detailed discussions and furnish examples integrated with foundational configuration principles outlined within EIA-649.

Many organizations have experienced the negative effects of a security breach of their intellectual property or protected information. The ramifications of these events are significantly exacerbated when the information breach involves personal information about the organization’s employees or their customers, or information deemed critical to national security or national defense. The business cost of these breaches was estimated to be in excess of $45,000,000,000 ($45 billion).

Using the National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-171 and 800-53 (NIST SP 800-171 & SP 800-53) as a foundation, this 2-day course focuses on the challenges every organization faces in protecting the security of their released information and their information technology systems. In today’s world of ever-expanding networks and digitized information, these challenges are becoming more complex and more significant every day.

This course will examine the fundamental changes that must take place within an organization and its processes. We will utilize specific fundamental principles of enterprise configuration management to enable the creation of powerful protocols that are needed to protect an organization’s information assets and business tools. Students successfully completing this course will obtain a strong foundation of these best practices and an understanding of what steps need to be taken next.

BIM (Building Information Modeling) is a fundamental process to ensure the planning, design, and construction of a building is efficient and collaborative. The key to successfully creating an enriched BIM Model is the management of the information used to produce the model.

Organizations that operate in a siloed environment, with each discipline functioning without completely understanding the dynamics of the overall integrated BIM Model, struggle to achieve cost and schedule targets.
