Fundamental to both the GeoSpatial and Plant Design systems is the system architecture, servers, ancillary applications which access the data feed provided by the GeoSpatial or Plant Design Systems.

Therefore when consulting or discussing these systems inherently the need arises to analyze the servers, network connections, operating systems, applications and integration available to ensure
these systems have all the necessary components and applications available to ensure an enterprise capable integration.

So when the ENERGIS consultant is on site he/she will likely schedule a meeting or several with the corporations information management team. In which they will discuss concepts such as:

- Network Speeds
- Network Configurations
- Up times
- Operating Systems
- Back-ups
- Recoveries
- Development Servers
- Testing Servers
- Source Code Management
- Deployment processes
- Integration
- Documentation procedures
- Communication systems
