What is an Interface​?
In simple terms, an interface is a point of interaction between two or more systems. When we talk about Interfaces in IMS, we refer to the various methods that IMS can share information and resources with other software systems, such as:
IMS APIs: The IMS Developer Portal allows access to data in the IMS database for use in third party tools. See IMS Developer Portal.
Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS): SAP, Oracle, Maximo, Infor, etc. See CMMS Interfaces & Implementation Guidance.
Data Historians: OSIsoft/Aveva Pi, Aspentech DataWorks, PAS InBound, Honeywell, Honeywell PHD, IP21, etc. See Integrity Operating Window/Data Historian.
Digital Twin/Document Management Systems: Hexagon, Assai, Aveva, SDx, etc. See Digital Twin and Document Management Systems.

Why Interface with Other Systems?​
Having all types of software connected and communicating seamlessly is a key factor to achieving excellence in asset management. ​
​While some interfaces work out of the box, other interfaces that need to be configured to the specific needs of the users
