Infor EAM Business Edition provides users a powerful enterprise asset management solution with all of the features needed to manage critical functions such as work requests, purchasing, inventory and preventive maintenance. And implementation is simple, thanks to its web architecture and easy-to-use graphical user interface. Users can be up and running in as little as two weeks—including training!

Features to Manage Your Business

Graphical User Interface (GUI)
Infor EAM Business Edition runs in an easy-to-use graphical user interface. Users access the application through a standard web browser, a familiar tool that fosters user-acceptance and reduces training. The application also allows users without any prior programming knowledge to custom design screens using the drag-n-drop screen designer built in to the Infor EAM Business Edition application. Users can tailor work order and scheduling screens to meet their specific needs—no custom programming required.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Infor has worked with customers to establish pre-configured Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) based on tried-and-true industry best practices. Through KPIs, users can monitor critical asset performance indicators, such as proactive versus reactive work orders, without having to configure software or run reports. Using dashboard-like gauges, KPIs provide a snapshot of how assets are performing in an easy-to-read format, right from the product home page.

Pre-defined Reports
Reporting on critical asset information is easy with Infor EAM Business Edition. Users can select from a variety of pre-defined reports including assets, materials, purchasing, scheduling, work, budget analysis, projects, and more.

Web Architecture
Infor EAM Business Edition is fully web-architected, enabling users to access information stored in their application over any Internet or intranet connection. This gives everyone from the CEO to the plant manager a way to stay connected to every facet of operations. And, unlike client-server software, which requires the installation of software for each client computer and offers limited operating interactions, Web-architected products offer significant benefits—reduced IT expenses, a foundation of continuous, consolidated technology, and rapid return on investment. Infor EAM Business Edition is also fully upgradeable from release to release, further protecting the investment.

Minimal Hardware Investment
Infor EAM Business Edition can run on a single server eliminating the need for separate hardware for the application, database, and reports. At the same time, Infor EAM Business Edition is also highly scalable and can grow with your business. Customers can easily upgrade to other products in the Infor EAM suite.

Essential Features for Asset Management

Assets
With the Asset module, companies identify, track, locate, and analyze their physical assets and facilitate metered usage measurement and automatic usage value transmission to sub-components. By compiling asset data, such as location, cost history, warranties, claims, meters, permits, and documents, Infor EAM Business Edition maximizes productivity and extends asset life.

Work
From installing new equipment to issuing corrective or preventive maintenance work orders, the Work Management module tracks all aspects related to work performed on assets. The ability to track and manage work requests, labor, planning, and scheduling allows companies to make the most of their resources while improving productivity.

For example, a scheduling and parts manager uses the Infor EAM Business Edition to approve requisitions for plant maintenance. He can easily view these work requisitions to see specific information, such as parts, service time, and personnel that is needed to fill the request. After reviewing all the details, the scheduling and parts manager can approve the requisition online.

Preventive Maintenance (PM)
Preventive maintenance is the cornerstone of effective asset management. With Infor EAM Business Edition, users can create PM tasks based on a fixed date, flexible time period, or metered usage. Users may also incorporate routes with a PM task to service multiple assets that share similar PM requirements under a single work order. Infor EAM Business Edition can automatically adjust PM schedules to compensate for early or late PM work accomplishment. And with PM Revision Control, users can track modifications and control the authorization of modifications to PM scheduled tasks, materials, and routes.

Materials & Inventory
The Materials Management module offers tools to monitor and control the inventories of storerooms found in any enterprise. These tools—including economic order quantity (EOQ) and class calculations and assignments—support parts receipts, issues, returns, and cycle counts. Materials management offers a choice of automatic storeroom replenishment methods: Min-Max or Reorder Point-Order Quantity. Infor EAM Business Edition helps minimize inventory holdings while fully supporting part and supply demands.

Purchasing
The Purchasing Management module helps companies ensure that the right parts are ordered and keeps up with delivery times, vendor performance, payments, and goods receipts. This module addresses blanket purchase orders and quotation processing.

Administration
Infor EAM Business Edition administration is easy and straightforward. The software is pre-configured, greatly simplifying installation. The security model is also uncomplicated, reducing installation time even further.

Integration
Infor EAM Business Edition includes the standard version of Databridge, enabling integration with existing applications. For example, a customer can maintain inventory and materials using Infor EAM Business Edition and integrate with the existing financial package to provide purchase orders and invoice matching for costing.

Infor EAM Business Edition is easy to use, requires minimal hardware investments, and is designed to scale with your business. It is the essential asset management tool for managing preventive maintenance, work orders, purchasing and more.
