You can integrate Archibus and Serraview for space management across all domains in your organization. To get started, see: Deployment Components.
Two user stories are supported.
Story 1: Add Serraview Space Optimization to an Existing Archibus Deployment

Data Transfers
In the diagram above, the arrows signify data transfers between Archibus and Serraview. The two platforms use special-purpose connectors to accomplish data transfers. To configure and use the connectors, see:
- Connectors for Archibus-Serraview Integration
- Configure Connectors for Story 1
- Configure Connectors for Story 2
When reviewing how data is transferred, note that Serraview fields tend to be larger than Archibus fields.
Note: In both stories, you must use a conversion tool to convert floor plan drawings.
In Story 1, the connectors automatically upload the converted drawing files, but they do not perform the conversion.
In Story 2, the connectors do not automatically upload the converted drawing files.
Data Mapping
Each platform stores, organizes, and retrieves data according to its internal design. See these topics to compare how Serraview and Archibus handle space and facilities management data:
