Increase your top-line growth Underperforming assets can have many far-reaching— and negative—impacts on the overall health of your company. Asset downtime can disrupt production and lead to lower customer satisfaction. Inadequate preventive maintenance can increase the cost of keeping assets and equipment running at peak efficiency and force you to make investments in new equipment that could have been avoided. Inadequate asset management can expose you to violations of safety regulations and compliance requirements. Unlike many other factors that can drag down your profitability, asset performance management is often not as high a priority as it should be for executives. That’s because the response to pressure on margins has traditionally been to focus on opportunities for top-line growth, such as increasing sales. With Infor® EAM Enterprise v11, you’ll increase your capacity for top-line growth by reducing the cost of maintaining your valuable equipment. You’ll improve asset performance by allowing your employees to access critical information and collaborate in real time, anywhere, anytime, on any device, with an intuitive, easy-to-use solution that uses robust analytics to significantly improve decision-making and decreases the time it takes to perform important maintenance tasks.
