# Recommended Business Processes Overview

This Section of the Cenosco Reference Library contains documents describing Business Processes supported by the following IMS Modules:

- IMS PEI
- IMS PLSS
- IMS RCM
- IMS SIS
- IMS4Field

To drive value from ongoing operations, companies structure their activities into business processes in which people, methods, systems/tools (including IMS), and data all work together. The specific business processes for disciplines such as Pressure Equipment Integrity (PEI), Pipelines & Subsea Systems (PLSS), Reliability‑Centered Maintenance (RCM), and Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) form key elements of the overarching Asset Management System / Framework that places emphasis on execution processes (primarily operational execution & managerial execution) along with evaluation & analysis processes.

The business processes that Cenosco recommends companies use are processes designed to make the best use of IMS as a supporting tool and to help organizations implement their workflows effectively. Naturally, each company may have its own variations. In such cases, we recommend identifying the gaps and aligning where possible - either through configuration options within IMS or adjustments on the company side.
