Overall Satisfaction with Infor CloudSuite EAM

We are using EAM throughout the whole organization as a central database for all fixed assets. It is used both by technical groups as well as administration and finance (for financial depreciation). All interventions on our installations are traced in EAM, and for outsourced contracts, we are using EAM as the central tool for managing such contracts based on SLAs and KPIs defined in EAM.
Spare parts located in storerooms are also managed with EAM, and material lists and pick tickets are used to prepare parts for technical interventions.
  • EAM is highly configurable and can be used to manage virtually any type of assets, or for more complex technical installations.
  • It is really simple and quick to configure, even for non-developers, such as business analysts and administrative staff.
  • The user interfaces are relatively intuitive (for being an enterprise application) and also possible to simplify and configure for specific users groups.
  • The planning functionality for Projects and Work Orders can be improved. There is, for example, no Gantt view for Work Orders available in the standard tool.
  • The implementation/configuration is fast and straightforward, which has been important for us when using it to replace multiple legacy systems.
  • We have also been able to easily replace old paper-based processes with EAM.
EAM is overall simple to use, especially since the UI and individual forms can be configured per user group with simple clicks by a system administrator.
The user support is better than average when comparing it to other software vendors we use. Normally they reply very quickly, but there is also a tendency to even reply too fast without fully analyzing or understanding the whole underlying problem. However, when we ask support to escalate something to the development team, this is done quickly as well.
The ease of configuration, scalability, and built-in functionality were the main reasons for us to go with EAM.
EAM is a very capable application without necessarily making it a complex tool to use. The nice thing with EAM is that, thanks to its configuration capabilities, it can be implemented in a multi-stage manner where users can start simple and then later (and over time) expand the usage as they learn or better understand its full potential.
