Achieve seamless compliance with the International Standard for managing information over the whole life cycle of a built asset (ISO 19650) using Morta's powerful, integrated solution.

Morta helps you operationalise your Information Standards, Methods and Procedures — reducing ambiguity, improving collaboration, and guaranteeing alignment with international best practices.

“The MIDP is directly connected to EIR data — Uniclass codes come from the EIR, not the MIDP. We designed a generic process that works with any CDE.”
“When I came over to ALEC, the first thing I look for is standardised templates on our QMS. We didn't have any defined templates for information management resources.”
“What used to have taken months to develop with regards to setting up an MIDP, we were able to set that up within weeks.”
Frequently asked questions.
Common questions about this template and how it works.
Does Morta align to ISO 19650?
Yes. Fully aligned to ISO 19650 and the UK National Annex. File naming conventions, CDE workflows and reference data are structured around the standard.
