NCID User Registration Guide

Introduction

The North Carolina Department of Administration Facility Management Division is implementing a new system in November 2020. The Facility Management System has two (2) different application modules; AiM and ReADY. The ReADY module allows building coordinators to submit request for services to the Facilities Management team for processing. The AiM module allows the business to manage work requests. The AiM module includes the Go Field Service Apps. The primary users of the Facility Management system, AiM and ReADY, will be the DOA Facility Management Staff which is mainly state employees with a few contractors.

The users for the Facility Management system, AiM and ReADY, will be authenticated through the State's North Carolina Identity Management Service – Next Generation (NCID). This is the standard identity and access management platform provided by the NC Department of Information Technology. NCID is a Web-based application that provides a secure environment for state agency, local government, business and individual users to log in and gain access to real-time resources, such as the DOA Facility Management applications.
