What is Archibus?

Archibus Smart Client

The Smart Client is a rich-client, .Net Windows application that works from the same Web application server that Web Central does, and operates using the same set of Web Services as Web Central. However, for most operations it uses even less bandwidth than Web Central operating in a Web browser because it transfers only the data, and not the interface, from the server to the client.

Archibus Smart Client is typically used by back-office personnel for bulk data entry, data transfer, and importing and exporting data from other systems. It also provides tasks for robust data analysis.

The Smart Client is available for Archibus SaaS, as well as the non-SaaS offering. In Archibus SaaS deployments, the Smart Client is installed locally and users work with data that is stored on the Cloud.

Facility managers and others at your site whose main task is managing the facility and infrastructure will find that Archibus Smart Client provides them with a central location from which they can work without having to switch applications. In addition to accessing grid views for bulk data management, they can also launch their CAD program from Smart Client or display any Web Central view or application feature within the browser window embedded in Smart Client.
