Company started as AMECON with building warships (Marine Division)
bull $A 7 BN ANZAC project to build 10 frigates for Australian (8) and New Zealand (2) Navies
bull Signed Nov 1989 - 8 ships already deliveredbull Project Protector - preferred tenderer for new
ships for NZ
Tenix Group Tenix Defence
bull One of Australiarsquos largest private companies with defence and commercial clients in Australia New Zealand Fiji Philippines USA and Europe
bull Defence is largest of 6 business units it includesndash Marine (defence amp commercial shipbuilding
logistic support etc)ndash Land (rebuilding as new 350 M113s other heavy
vehicle work logistic amp base support etc)ndash Aerospace (systems integration logistic support)ndash Electronic Systems (systems design integration
related software)

Some Land Division jobsM113A1 Upgradeldquo
(Another country in the region recently procured around 100 new LAVs for approx $600 M)
bull The Australian Army M113A1s were originally brought into service during the early 1960rsquos
bull The purpose of the M113 Upgrade Contract is to improve protection mobility communications and firepower
bull Tenix is turning 350 well used hulls into new state-of-the-art vehicles with totally new technical data packs for a contract value of $A 391 M
Requirements for safe amp effective operation of all products we build
bull Capability when when the client needs itndash Reliably does what it is supposed tondash Available for service when neededndash Maintainable - problems can be fixed when they arise ndash Supportable - critical needs available in supply chain ndash Operable within limits of human knowledge amp capacity
bull Health safety and operational knowledge issuesndash Heavycomplex engineering systems can kill
bull Life-cycle costndash Minimise acquisition costndash Minimise documentation support amp maintenance costsndash Facilitate lean maintenance philosophy
Major quality issues in delivering tech data and knowledge
bull Clients operational knowledge delivery goalsndash Correct

The CMIS solution for Tenixs M113 Program
Big enough project to supportcurrent best practice
Knowledge is our most important asset
bull Data and documentation are the most important assets to the company
bull CMIS is the custodian AND guardian of the Companyrsquos data and documentsndash Secure Vaults and Storesndash Encryptedndash Access control
bull CM II compliantndash Only recognized commercial CM doctrinendash Qualified by Institute of CM
Background
bull Contract All CM in M113 Project according tondash TRAMM (Technical Regulation Army Maint Mgmt)ndash MIL-STD-973 (Configuration management)
bull Other standardsndash Naming follows H6 (US Fed Item Name Directory)ndash NATO Commodity Codes forms part type
bull Rule CMIS manages all tech data for all projectsndash Engineering datandash Source documentsndash Technical Publication content
bull No part released until all metadata correct
CMIS was conceived as an umbrella system
bull Single user interfacebull Data normalization applies to all project data and
document components from the startbull Common workflow management environmentbull Single point
ndash electronic signoffndash engineering change management and trackingndash cost and schedule control
bull The umbrella covers everything
Overview
bull CMIS provides primary user interfacebull Two major modules

Configuration management
The source of all data generated starts at the concept phase of the product and grows with
the product
SOME QUOTES
Configuration management is adiscipline
notan overhead
Some mad person
Configuration Management
bull Very distinct phases of CMndash Developmentndash Productionndash In service
bull Analysis of data types has determined two distinct typesndash Objectsndash Content
bull To manage these we require two distinct processesndash CM of objects - provided in Matrix10 PDM
environmentndash CM of content - delegated to TeraText
Configuration Management
bull Baseline management for each engineering phase
bull Principlesndash Items (like Systems) have a lifecycle within the
engineering phase
ndash Items are ldquopromotedrdquo to the next phase through approval only
ndash Items are NEVER deleted ndash they have ldquohistoryrdquo
Preliminary Review Release Obsolete
Focus onDocument and content management
It is configuration management of ldquoblocks of textrdquo
It is configuration management to the lowest level inside a document

What real world problems are solved
bull The in-service life for an APC is many decadesndash Most documents contain configuration sensitive contentndash File system does not track the changes through timendash Lifetime of a word processor format is about 5 yearsndash DMS does not provide point-in-time supportndash TeraText Content Management System manages versions
and provides point-in-time search across versionsndash SGML(~XML) is essentially unchanged since 1986
bull Many versions of each manual changes to individual vehicles etc leads to many hundreds of documentsndash DMS typically limited to about 100000 piecesndash TeraText Content Management System scales to many
hundreds of thousands of documents and millions of configuration sensitive components
What real world problems are solved
bull About 80 of content is common to all manualsndash DMS only manages whole documents and does not know
what is common to other documentsndash TeraText Content Management system manages the
components that make up the documentndash Reuse dont rewrite
bull Only small component may change in a documentndash DMS or file system requires whole document to be stored
againndash TeraText Content Management System stores
common components once and tracks versions of components as well as whole documents
ndash Know where used
What real world problems are solved
bull May need to strip out classified material for unclassified usersndash static documents donrsquot allow for changed detailsndash TeraText can strip out elements on-the-fly
bull Need to support hypertext link managementndash a word processor alone cannot validate links between
multiple documentsndash TeraText manages links and link validation
bull Need to support collaborative authoring of large documentsndash TeraText allows whole documents or individual
components to be edited

What real world problems are solved
bull The in-service life for an APC is many decadesndash Most documents contain configuration sensitive contentndash File system does not track the changes through timendash Lifetime of a word processor format is about 5 yearsndash DMS does not provide point-in-time supportndash TeraText Content Management System manages versions
and provides point-in-time search across versionsndash SGML(~XML) is essentially unchanged since 1986
bull Many versions of each manual changes to individual vehicles etc leads to many hundreds of documentsndash DMS typically limited to about 100000 piecesndash TeraText Content Management System scales to many
hundreds of thousands of documents and millions of configuration sensitive components
What real world problems are solved
bull About 80 of content is common to all manualsndash DMS only manages whole documents and does not know
what is common to other documentsndash TeraText Content Management system manages the
components that make up the documentndash Reuse dont rewrite
bull Only small component may change in a documentndash DMS or file system requires whole document to be stored
againndash TeraText Content Management System stores
common components once and tracks versions of components as well as whole documents
ndash Know where used
What real world problems are solved
bull May need to strip out classified material for unclassified usersndash static documents donrsquot allow for changed detailsndash TeraText can strip out elements on-the-fly
bull Need to support hypertext link managementndash a word processor alone cannot validate links between
multiple documentsndash TeraText manages links and link validation
bull Need to support collaborative authoring of large documentsndash TeraText allows whole documents or individual
components to be edited

What real world problems are solved
bull The in-service life for an APC is many decadesndash Most documents contain configuration sensitive contentndash File system does not track the changes through timendash Lifetime of a word processor format is about 5 yearsndash DMS does not provide point-in-time supportndash TeraText Content Management System manages versions
and provides point-in-time search across versionsndash SGML(~XML) is essentially unchanged since 1986
bull Many versions of each manual changes to individual vehicles etc leads to many hundreds of documentsndash DMS typically limited to about 100000 piecesndash TeraText Content Management System scales to many
hundreds of thousands of documents and millions of configuration sensitive components
What real world problems are solved
bull About 80 of content is common to all manualsndash DMS only manages whole documents and does not know
what is common to other documentsndash TeraText Content Management system manages the
components that make up the documentndash Reuse dont rewrite
bull Only small component may change in a documentndash DMS or file system requires whole document to be stored
againndash TeraText Content Management System stores
common components once and tracks versions of components as well as whole documents
ndash Know where used
What real world problems are solved
bull May need to strip out classified material for unclassified usersndash static documents donrsquot allow for changed detailsndash TeraText can strip out elements on-the-fly
bull Need to support hypertext link managementndash a word processor alone cannot validate links between
multiple documentsndash TeraText manages links and link validation
bull Need to support collaborative authoring of large documentsndash TeraText allows whole documents or individual
components to be edited

What real world problems are solved
bull The in-service life for an APC is many decadesndash Most documents contain configuration sensitive contentndash File system does not track the changes through timendash Lifetime of a word processor format is about 5 yearsndash DMS does not provide point-in-time supportndash TeraText Content Management System manages versions
and provides point-in-time search across versionsndash SGML(~XML) is essentially unchanged since 1986
bull Many versions of each manual changes to individual vehicles etc leads to many hundreds of documentsndash DMS typically limited to about 100000 piecesndash TeraText Content Management System scales to many
hundreds of thousands of documents and millions of configuration sensitive components
What real world problems are solved
bull About 80 of content is common to all manualsndash DMS only manages whole documents and does not know
what is common to other documentsndash TeraText Content Management system manages the
components that make up the documentndash Reuse dont rewrite
bull Only small component may change in a documentndash DMS or file system requires whole document to be stored
againndash TeraText Content Management System stores
common components once and tracks versions of components as well as whole documents
ndash Know where used
What real world problems are solved
bull May need to strip out classified material for unclassified usersndash static documents donrsquot allow for changed detailsndash TeraText can strip out elements on-the-fly
bull Need to support hypertext link managementndash a word processor alone cannot validate links between
multiple documentsndash TeraText manages links and link validation
bull Need to support collaborative authoring of large documentsndash TeraText allows whole documents or individual
components to be edited

bull Data and documentation are the most important assets to the company
bull CMIS is the custodian AND guardian of the Companyrsquos data and documentsndash Secure Vaults and Storesndash Encryptedndash Access control
bull CM II compliantndash Only recognized commercial CM doctrinendash Qualified by Institute of CM
Background
bull Contract All CM in M113 Project according tondash TRAMM (Technical Regulation Army Maint Mgmt)ndash MIL-STD-973 (Configuration management)
bull Other standardsndash Naming follows H6 (US Fed Item Name Directory)ndash NATO Commodity Codes forms part type
bull Rule CMIS manages all tech data for all projectsndash Engineering datandash Source documentsndash Technical Publication content

Some mad person
Configuration Management
bull Very distinct phases of CMndash Developmentndash Productionndash In service
bull Analysis of data types has determined two distinct typesndash Objectsndash Content
bull To manage these we require two distinct processesndash CM of objects - provided in Matrix10 PDM
environmentndash CM of content - delegated to TeraText
Configuration Management
bull Baseline management for each engineering phase
bull Principlesndash Items (like Systems) have a lifecycle within the
engineering phase
ndash Items are ldquopromotedrdquo to the next phase through approval only
ndash Items are NEVER deleted ndash they have ldquohistoryrdquo
Preliminary Review Release Obsolete
Focus onDocument and content management
It is configuration management of ldquoblocks of textrdquo
It is configuration management to the lowest level inside a document

What real world problems are solved
bull The in-service life for an APC is many decadesndash Most documents contain configuration sensitive contentndash File system does not track the changes through timendash Lifetime of a word processor format is about 5 yearsndash DMS does not provide point-in-time supportndash TeraText Content Management System manages versions
and provides point-in-time search across versionsndash SGML(~XML) is essentially unchanged since 1986
bull Many versions of each manual changes to individual vehicles etc leads to many hundreds of documentsndash DMS typically limited to about 100000 piecesndash TeraText Content Management System scales to many
hundreds of thousands of documents and millions of configuration sensitive components
What real world problems are solved
bull About 80 of content is common to all manualsndash DMS only manages whole documents and does not know
what is common to other documentsndash TeraText Content Management system manages the
components that make up the documentndash Reuse dont rewrite
bull Only small component may change in a documentndash DMS or file system requires whole document to be stored
againndash TeraText Content Management System stores
common components once and tracks versions of components as well as whole documents
ndash Know where used
What real world problems are solved
bull May need to strip out classified material for unclassified usersndash static documents donrsquot allow for changed detailsndash TeraText can strip out elements on-the-fly
bull Need to support hypertext link managementndash a word processor alone cannot validate links between
multiple documentsndash TeraText manages links and link validation
bull Need to support collaborative authoring of large documentsndash TeraText allows whole documents or individual
components to be edited

What real world problems are solved
bull The in-service life for an APC is many decadesndash Most documents contain configuration sensitive contentndash File system does not track the changes through timendash Lifetime of a word processor format is about 5 yearsndash DMS does not provide point-in-time supportndash TeraText Content Management System manages versions
and provides point-in-time search across versionsndash SGML(~XML) is essentially unchanged since 1986
bull Many versions of each manual changes to individual vehicles etc leads to many hundreds of documentsndash DMS typically limited to about 100000 piecesndash TeraText Content Management System scales to many
hundreds of thousands of documents and millions of configuration sensitive components
What real world problems are solved
bull About 80 of content is common to all manualsndash DMS only manages whole documents and does not know
what is common to other documentsndash TeraText Content Management system manages the
components that make up the documentndash Reuse dont rewrite
bull Only small component may change in a documentndash DMS or file system requires whole document to be stored
againndash TeraText Content Management System stores
common components once and tracks versions of components as well as whole documents
ndash Know where used
What real world problems are solved
bull May need to strip out classified material for unclassified usersndash static documents donrsquot allow for changed detailsndash TeraText can strip out elements on-the-fly
bull Need to support hypertext link managementndash a word processor alone cannot validate links between
multiple documentsndash TeraText manages links and link validation
bull Need to support collaborative authoring of large documentsndash TeraText allows whole documents or individual

What real world problems are solved
bull The in-service life for an APC is many decadesndash Most documents contain configuration sensitive contentndash File system does not track the changes through timendash Lifetime of a word processor format is about 5 yearsndash DMS does not provide point-in-time supportndash TeraText Content Management System manages versions
and provides point-in-time search across versionsndash SGML(~XML) is essentially unchanged since 1986
bull Many versions of each manual changes to individual vehicles etc leads to many hundreds of documentsndash DMS typically limited to about 100000 piecesndash TeraText Content Management System scales to many
hundreds of thousands of documents and millions of configuration sensitive components
What real world problems are solved
bull About 80 of content is common to all manualsndash DMS only manages whole documents and does not know
what is common to other documentsndash TeraText Content Management system manages the
components that make up the documentndash Reuse dont rewrite
bull Only small component may change in a documentndash DMS or file system requires whole document to be stored
againndash TeraText Content Management System stores
common components once and tracks versions of components as well as whole documents
ndash Know where used
What real world problems are solved
bull May need to strip out classified material for unclassified usersndash static documents donrsquot allow for changed detailsndash TeraText can strip out elements on-the-fly
bull Need to support hypertext link managementndash a word processor alone cannot validate links between
multiple documentsndash TeraText manages links and link validation
bull Need to support collaborative authoring of large documentsndash TeraText allows whole documents or individual
components to be edited

Configuration management is adiscipline
notan overhead
Some mad person
Configuration Management
bull Very distinct phases of CMndash Developmentndash Productionndash In service
bull Analysis of data types has determined two distinct typesndash Objectsndash Content
bull To manage these we require two distinct processesndash CM of objects - provided in Matrix10 PDM
environmentndash CM of content - delegated to TeraText
Configuration Management
bull Baseline management for each engineering phase
bull Principlesndash Items (like Systems) have a lifecycle within the
engineering phase
ndash Items are ldquopromotedrdquo to the next phase through approval only
ndash Items are NEVER deleted ndash they have ldquohistoryrdquo
Preliminary Review Release Obsolete
Focus onDocument and content management
It is configuration management of ldquoblocks of textrdquo
It is configuration management to the lowest level inside a document

bull Ensuring the document model supports authoring at the document component and fragment levels
bull Truly sharing (reusing) common texts vs rekeying common texts
bull Direct sourcing of PDM data into parts lists tables

What real world problems are solved
bull The in-service life for an APC is many decadesndash Most documents contain configuration sensitive contentndash File system does not track the changes through timendash Lifetime of a word processor format is about 5 yearsndash DMS does not provide point-in-time supportndash TeraText Content Management System manages versions
and provides point-in-time search across versionsndash SGML(~XML) is essentially unchanged since 1986
bull Many versions of each manual changes to individual vehicles etc leads to many hundreds of documentsndash DMS typically limited to about 100000 piecesndash TeraText Content Management System scales to many
hundreds of thousands of documents and millions of configuration sensitive components
What real world problems are solved
bull About 80 of content is common to all manualsndash DMS only manages whole documents and does not know
what is common to other documentsndash TeraText Content Management system manages the
components that make up the documentndash Reuse dont rewrite
bull Only small component may change in a documentndash DMS or file system requires whole document to be stored
againndash TeraText Content Management System stores
common components once and tracks versions of components as well as whole documents
ndash Know where used
What real world problems are solved
bull May need to strip out classified material for unclassified usersndash static documents donrsquot allow for changed detailsndash TeraText can strip out elements on-the-fly
bull Need to support hypertext link managementndash a word processor alone cannot validate links between
multiple documentsndash TeraText manages links and link validation
bull Need to support collaborative authoring of large documentsndash TeraText allows whole documents or individual
components to be edited

What real world problems are solved
bull The in-service life for an APC is many decadesndash Most documents contain configuration sensitive contentndash File system does not track the changes through timendash Lifetime of a word processor format is about 5 yearsndash DMS does not provide point-in-time supportndash TeraText Content Management System manages versions
and provides point-in-time search across versionsndash SGML(~XML) is essentially unchanged since 1986
bull Many versions of each manual changes to individual vehicles etc leads to many hundreds of documentsndash DMS typically limited to about 100000 piecesndash TeraText Content Management System scales to many
hundreds of thousands of documents and millions of configuration sensitive components
What real world problems are solved
bull About 80 of content is common to all manualsndash DMS only manages whole documents and does not know
what is common to other documentsndash TeraText Content Management system manages the
components that make up the documentndash Reuse dont rewrite
bull Only small component may change in a documentndash DMS or file system requires whole document to be stored

common components once and tracks versions of components as well as whole documents
ndash Know where used
What real world problems are solved
bull May need to strip out classified material for unclassified usersndash static documents donrsquot allow for changed detailsndash TeraText can strip out elements on-the-fly
bull Need to support hypertext link managementndash a word processor alone cannot validate links between
multiple documentsndash TeraText manages links and link validation
bull Need to support collaborative authoring of large documentsndash TeraText allows whole documents or individual

What real world problems are solved
bull The in-service life for an APC is many decadesndash Most documents contain configuration sensitive contentndash File system does not track the changes through timendash Lifetime of a word processor format is about 5 yearsndash DMS does not provide point-in-time supportndash TeraText Content Management System manages versions
and provides point-in-time search across versionsndash SGML(~XML) is essentially unchanged since 1986
bull Many versions of each manual changes to individual vehicles etc leads to many hundreds of documentsndash DMS typically limited to about 100000 piecesndash TeraText Content Management System scales to many
hundreds of thousands of documents and millions of configuration sensitive components
What real world problems are solved
bull About 80 of content is common to all manualsndash DMS only manages whole documents and does not know
what is common to other documentsndash TeraText Content Management system manages the
components that make up the documentndash Reuse dont rewrite
bull Only small component may change in a documentndash DMS or file system requires whole document to be stored
againndash TeraText Content Management System stores
common components once and tracks versions of components as well as whole documents
ndash Know where used
What real world problems are solved
bull May need to strip out classified material for unclassified usersndash static documents donrsquot allow for changed detailsndash TeraText can strip out elements on-the-fly
bull Need to support hypertext link managementndash a word processor alone cannot validate links between
multiple documentsndash TeraText manages links and link validation

What real world problems are solved
bull The in-service life for an APC is many decadesndash Most documents contain configuration sensitive contentndash File system does not track the changes through timendash Lifetime of a word processor format is about 5 yearsndash DMS does not provide point-in-time supportndash TeraText Content Management System manages versions
and provides point-in-time search across versionsndash SGML(~XML) is essentially unchanged since 1986
bull Many versions of each manual changes to individual vehicles etc leads to many hundreds of documentsndash DMS typically limited to about 100000 piecesndash TeraText Content Management System scales to many
hundreds of thousands of documents and millions of configuration sensitive components
What real world problems are solved
bull About 80 of content is common to all manualsndash DMS only manages whole documents and does not know
what is common to other documentsndash TeraText Content Management system manages the
components that make up the documentndash Reuse dont rewrite
bull Only small component may change in a documentndash DMS or file system requires whole document to be stored
againndash TeraText Content Management System stores
common components once and tracks versions of components as well as whole documents
ndash Know where used
What real world problems are solved
bull May need to strip out classified material for unclassified usersndash static documents donrsquot allow for changed detailsndash TeraText can strip out elements on-the-fly
bull Need to support hypertext link managementndash a word processor alone cannot validate links between
multiple documentsndash TeraText manages links and link validation
bull Need to support collaborative authoring of large documentsndash TeraText allows whole documents or individual
components to be edited
