ActiveManuals™ and ActiveManuals To Go™

As knowledge and information management in the workplace remains a key issue, businesses are looking for ways to become more productive. The need for economic efficiencies coupled with aging workforce issues has further underscored the importance of knowledge capture, management and access.

To address these concerns, MWH, through Hawksley Consulting, offers our ActiveManuals™ solution to target knowledge and information capture, organization and reuse. Born as an electronic operations and maintenance manual (eO&M) tool, ActiveManuals™ and ActiveManuals To Go™ meets a wide range of information availability needs of our clients.

Working collaboratively with our clients, we create customized solutions that align with specific workplace processes and practices, and provide access to information in a way that fits both our clients’ organizations and the way the organizations operate.

With ActiveManuals™, Hawksley Consulting targets specific organizational objectives, such as having access to a single centralized, organization-wide location for standard operating procedures, operations and maintenance manuals, reports and important reference documents. ActiveManuals™ also helps address broader, long-range organization initiatives, such as workforce and succession planning, asset management and systems integration projects that help with:

  • Information capture– Identify, capture and document critical organizational knowledge and information.
  • Information development– Our process experts can help to “fill the holes” of essential information to enable improved operations, decision-making and strategy development.
  • Information organization and presentation– Present information that is aligned with day-to-day workplaces processes, practices and tools.
  • Information access– Provide a centralized location of information, centrally maintained to be up-to-date for all users.
  • Information availability – Facilitate knowledge transfer throughout the organization.

ActiveManuals™ provides users with:

  • Electronic information database solutions that easily handle dynamic content
  • Electronic field data-gathering capability
  • User-defined and managed sections and subsections that result in alignment with workplace processes such as organizational or asset management hierarchies
  • Integration of varied information sources, including engineering operations and maintenance manuals, manufacturer manuals, technical documents, drawings, photographs and videos
  • Easy-to-use electronic files and real-time updates and revisions
  • Search capabilities across multiple information sources
  • Robust print capabilities with archiving options
  • Support for desktop and notebook users
  • Browser-based user access through an authenticated login

And, with the ActiveManuals To Go™ companion product, you can take it with you! ActiveManuals To Go™ allows users can take their ActiveManuals database completely offline on their iPad when network access is not available. The ActiveManuals To Go™ app is available in the iTunes App Store.
