PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) TDMM 13th Edition Revision Highlights:

Revised to meet knowledge requirements

obtained from RCDD Job Task Analysis conducted in 2011

Updated to contain latest code and standard requirements

Re-arranged chapter sequence to provide better topic linkage and progression

PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) Expanded Wireless chapter includes in-depth material on

DAS systems

Added new chapter on Business Development

Added information on industrial and transportation facilities, and networks carrying financial transaction information to Special Design Considerations supplement

Special Design Considerations has become a stand-alone document as a supplement to the TDMM 13th Edition; was published in February 2015 and is available from the BICSI website

Additionally, legacy technologies will also be included in a stand-alone document to the TDMM 13th Edition

PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) TPMRM 1st Edition

December 2014

Publication Date: August 2015

Release Date: November 2015

OSPDRM - 6th Edition

Publication Date: January 2017

Release Date: April 2017

PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) Appendix A Codes and Standards Listing

Now a module document common across all design and

installation manuals and also posted on the BICSI website

Updated with each revision to a Design or Installation Manual (currently being updated as part of ESSDRM 4th Edition revision cycle); a living document !

Better ability to keep up with additions, deletions, revisions to applicable Codes and Standards as they occur

Includes Country-Specific/Regional/Global Codes and Standards, not just those specific to North America!

PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) Glossary Bob Faber RCDD, NTS, SMETL

Originally a book, now a module document common across all

design and installation manuals, and will also be posted on the BICSI website

Like the Codes and Standards Listing, will be updated with each revision to a Design or Installation Manual (currently being updated as part of ESSDRM 4th Edition revision cycle); a living document !

Basically an improved, more readily available form of the previous hardcopy BICSI ITS Dictionary

Better ability to keep up with additions, deletions, revisions to ITS terms, definitions and acronyms as they occur in the industry

PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) Process to modularize BICSI manuals

began in 2013 Goal is to convert the structure of the manuals

from stand-alone documents with fixed revision schedules to an aggregation of individual modules that include all of the applicable technical information required for that particular manual or publication Modules will in effect be small "chapters" that

will be written in a manner that will allow them to stand alone or as a part of a larger manual or document

PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.)

By organizing the information into smaller sections, new or updated manuals can be produced with ease and on a more specific basis by simply creating the manual through the applicable modules

Discrepancies which could result from different review cycles for common information that is contained within two or more manuals or documents can be reduced or eliminated


Overall goals of modularization:

Ensure that each module is updated as needed to accommodate changes in related codes, standards and industry practices, regardless of any publication schedule

Information is distributed as quickly as possible to manual owners

PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) Move to a "subscription service" whereby a

manual subscriber will receive constant updates to their manual sets

As modules are created or updated, the new/revised modules will be automatically sent to the subscribers

As modules are revised and/or updated, previous editions of modules will be made available to members/subscribers as archived modules


OSPDRM 5th Edition selected as first manual to enter process; will be part of development of 6th Edition

TI&M subcommittee formed at Winter Conference in Tampa in 2013

PUBLICATIONS UPDATE (cont.) Tasks completed to date:

Identified what topics belong in which modules

Formalized draft module categories

Assigned Subject Matter Expert Team Leaders (SMETL) for each module

Began assembling Module Subject Matter Expert (SME) team members

Next steps:

Obtain relevant information from BICSI publications for each module Begin organizing material within the respective modules

Review for currency and correctness; add new material as applicable
