IBM Predictive Maintenance and Optimization vs. NEXGEN Asset Management

In my opinion, this product was designed for water/wastewater application, and my recommendations would be to other utilities. But, NEXGEN Asset Management has developed versatility in its modules to accommodate multiple industries. NEXGEN University has been a great tool to help me educate end-users with deployment. Also, I have been able to use the knowledge base articles to resolve small issues and educate myself on the functionalities incorporated within the software.
