Enterprise Asset Management – EAM
​
In the current context, process digitalization is a key element for improving the efficiency of implementing an asset management system in accordance with the ISO 55000 standard. One of the fundamental components of an efficient asset management system is the analysis of operational data to promote a process of continuous improvement in decision-making. Therefore, digitalizing the process through an information system, along with discipline in its use, is essential for effective management. Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) information systems represent an evolution compared to traditional Computer Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS). An EAM seeks to digitalize the processes related to asset lifecycle management, from acquisition and operation to maintenance and retirement, along with the organization's administrative and financial processes.
Why SAP S/4HANA Service & Asset Management (aka SAP PM)?
With over 50 years of experience designing, building, and implementing enterprise planning systems, SAP's enterprise management portfolio includes a fully integrated and flexible maintenance management solution. SAP S/4HANA Service & Asset Management, formerly known as SAP PM, is considered by experts to be one of the best platforms for integrating processes, people, and technology for asset management.
Maintenance Management is a key pillar in the efficient management of corporate assets. Its implementation allows organizations to structure, control, and optimize maintenance processes, ensuring operational reliability, reducing costs, and improving the availability of productive assets.
For those who already use SAP PM in its old version, the functional update to SAP S/4HANA Service & Asset Management represents an unprecedented technological change, being able to adopt numerous new features and user experience that SAP PM versions prior to 2021 were unable to materialize.
Poor data quality.
Fragmented and poorly standardized processes.
Difficulties in integrating operational and strategic information.
High operating costs and limited asset visibility.
