Hello to SAM
May 1st 2004

Since Maximo was developed in 1985, asset management has evolved significantly from CMMS through Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) to todays Strategic Asset Management.

SAM advances the effectiveness of corporate-wide asset management in two ways. From one perspective, it goes forward from where EAM stops by recognising that companies exist as a complete system of assets.

In other words, production assets, facilities, fleet and IT are inter-related and by functioning effectively together across the value chain, they contribute to the business mission and success.

On a second front, SAM moves forward by enabling all members of the organisation to take an active role in maximising the lifetime value of asset investment.

MRO Software believes companies will benefit from a single integrated suite of software applications.
