The PIMS solution will provide a geo-spatial inventory of properties to assist Strategic Real Estate Services branch of Real Property Division to manage and oversee the disposal of assets surplus to government, optimize the benefits to the government and citizens of BC related to the management of public real estate assets, and be a trusted source for accurate information for Government owned titled property.
This is a public site. No private information should be stored here.
PIMS provides a securely shared central inventory of properties, and a claim based workflow engine that assists agencies in the disposal of properties. PIMS is an opensource microservice container platform, built from the ground-up to support reuse, scalability, and customizability. In addition to a web application, the open API can provide integration with 3rd parties and other agencies.
PIMS provides a way for agencies to manage their inventory of properties and control who has access to this information, along with what they can do with it. It provides a way to follow mandated processes to identify and dispose of properties through the Surplus Property Program (SPP). Properties can now be reviewed co-operatively to provide approval and to identify issues.
Designed and developed to support continous development through transparent Agile processes. Developers are able to replicate the whole architecture locally to build, debug and enhance.
DevOps CI/CD pipelines, configuration, scans and testing all setup and running (infrastructure as code). Commits to the dev branch are immediately built, tested, scanned and deployed to the DEV environment for QA. Merges to the master branch are tagged, built, tested, scanned and deployed to the TEST environment for UAT. Upon approval tagged artifacts can be deployed to the PROD environment.
