Infor EAM has been named a leader in the Gartner 2017 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Asset Management. We are proud to share that EAM is positioned highest in ability to execute of all 11 vendors evaluated.

EAM has been evolving for 30 years. We’ve listened to customers and built a best-in-class asset management solution—one that keeps refining and adding to its capabilities. The driving principles of EAM’s development have remained consistent:

• Keep a finger on the pulse of the most useful, innovative, and ever-changing enterprise asset management capabilities—and build them into the product.
• Make it highly configurable, but robust enough to meet most users’ needs right out of the box.
• Focus on ease of use—keeping it capable but not complicated.
• Offer industry-specific functionality and editions.
• Make it powerful enough to grow and scale along with our customers.
• Offer the ultimate flexibility: available on all mobile platforms and devices, and as a cloud, on-premises, or hybrid solution.

Companies and organizations around the world, in dozens of industries, have taken notice and rewarded us with their business. The industry has noticed, too.

“In our opinion, Infor EAM has the happiest, most efficient, and most productive customers in the industry—bar none,” says Kevin Price, Technical Product Evangelist and Strategist, Infor EAM. “We would not continue to lead in the EAM market and would not have developed all the quality capabilities that exist the EAM portfolio without their noticeable fingerprints in every aspect of the process. They give us the vision to understand what the market actually needs and uses versus what we alone think it needs.”

Evaluating asset management software: Who do you trust?

Evaluating enterprise asset management software: Whose opinion matters?

What sources do you trust when you’re researching a potential software purchase?

Chances are, you look for third-party validation from analysts, customers, and partners of the software company. CIO magazine cites several factors in choosing the right software vendor, from references and scalability to integration, training, and support. One of the first items on their list is “check the software provider’s credentials and certificates.”

So, while we are always enthusiastic about discussing why Infor EAM offers the best combination of functionality and value of any enterprise asset management solution, we understand that you want to hear it from an impartial source. Now you can.

Technology Evaluation Centers (TEC), a leading provider of independent software research, evaluation tools and selection services, has certified Infor EAM. A TEC analyst reviewed an EAM demo and conducted a benchmarking analysis that covered the main functionality areas of an enterprise asset management solution as well as other features such as user experience, interface, and workflow.

The result? Infor EAM was ranked as “dominant” in four categories: maintenance management, integration, financials, and reliability. TEC defines the dominant zone as “show[ing] where the product supports more functionality than the average solution. Dominant modules are likely to be competitive differentiators for the vendor.”

The report notes that “organizations of all sizes, budgets, levels of asset management maturity, and existing ERP solution landscape that are looking to purchase an EAM/CMMS solution would do well by looking into what the Infor EAM product delivers.”
