A seamless architecture for a CDE designed for operations
Most BIM for O&M solution available on the market are designed for the design and construction phase, often limited to model visualization and collaboration around technical documents. Once the building is handed over, these tools quickly reach their limits
SpinalWall Knowledge is based on an open architecture and an interoperable Building Operating System (BOS) that enables building data to remain active, connected, and up to date throughout the asset’s entire lifecycle.
From BIM model to an operational reference system:
- Structured access to information at every level: equipment, room, zone, floor
- Native connection with third-party applications (CMMS, BMS, IWMS, etc.)
- Natural scalability toward other SpinalWall packs (supervision, maintenance, energy…)
Operations Dataroom: concrete benefits well beyond a standard CDE
Unlike a standard CDE, an Operations Dataroom allows you to act, qualify, structure, and continuously document the evolution of the building.
A true real estate knowledge cockpit
- Equipment and space inventory
- Category assignement (offices, technical areas, circulation…) with automated surface calculations
- Notes and annotations at the level of an object (e.g. boiler), room, floor, or building
- Dynamic links between equipment and their technical documentation
- Document versioning for better tracking of updates
- Fine-grained access rights management based on user profils
CDE: key figures and use cases to know
75 %
of facility operators report not having a reliable database of their equipment (source: FM Insight study, 2023)
20 to 40 %
of design information is lost between construction and operations
100 %
of maintenance, BMS, or energy management software requires an initial building description often recreated manually due to lack of a reliable, interoperable dataroom

SpinalWall Knowledge : the CDE that evolves into a full platform
The Operations Dataroom developed by SpinalCom is not an end in itself: it forms the foundation of your digital ecosystem. With SpinalWall Knowledge, you can scale your project toward:
- a smart and centralized command and control,
- a geolocated and intuitive CMMS,
- multi-fluid real-time energy management,
- and advanced space occupancy analysis.
Everything starts from a unified knowledge base, shared across all the building blocks of your digital architecture.
