HxGN EAM

HxGN Enterprise Asset Management was implemented to help with improving the effectiveness of the organization’s asset management solution. Specifically how we used the product was for managing equipment; some of these assets could be located at various buildings. Prior to implementing this solution many of the asset management was quite decentralized and thus tracking and reporting at a consolidated level was difficult. For example, some of the asset lists were kept using local spreadsheets and logs. Trying to get a view of everything, especially if assets were moved from one location to another was difficult. HxGN EAM provided a practical solution that enables better and real-time reporting. This help with optimizing operations.

• Integration with current system; for example, the opportunity to link assets to ledger
• Easy for users to use; the product needed to be intuitive and easy for all levels for example from technical clerks to upper management
• Good reporting; consolidated reporting to get a view of all assets across many sites

• Helps with more efficient decision-making and tracking; for example, closer and accurate tracking is an early indication if an asset needs to be replaced
• Organizes inventory of assets; tracking the assets across multiple sites and buildings and giving an easier system to move and manage a full picture view

• Increased efficiency

• Infor EAM works as well as the data contained. Management has to be dedicated to a change in culture and everyone must buy into this.
• Infor EAM is very useful in exposing shoddy maintenance practices, or poor reaction to required maintenance. A company cannot be afraid to let the system work for them, and take the necessary actions to improve maintenance practices to prolong the life of their investments.
• The only negative, is as mentioned above, Infor has the capabilities with KPIs and custom reports to easily identify unacceptable maintenance practices.
