Enterprise asset management (EAM) software selection

Asset management starts long before maintenance. It starts with choosing the right technology. We help organizations define, evaluate, and select the EAM that best fits their operational reality.

01 — Pain

When assets become a source of uncertainty

Reactive maintenance

Assets get serviced after they've already failed, not before.

Scattered information

Maintenance history lives in physical logs or loose files.

Assets without traceability

No clear visibility of where each asset is or what condition it's in.

Costs hard to control

Maintenance and spare-parts spending can't be accurately attributed.

Unplanned downtime

Failures that stop the operation with no prior warning.

Disconnected spare-parts inventory

Procurement doesn't know what parts are available before issuing an order.

Poor visibility into asset lifecycle doesn't just cost in maintenance — it costs in stopped operations.

02 — The problem

An EAM has to fit the operational reality of the assets

The need for an EAM looks different in manufacturing, energy, utilities, infrastructure, mining, transportation, or oil & gas.

The EAM with the most features isn't necessarily the best EAM for a given organization.

03 — Our approach

We select the platform based on your assets' lifecycle

InventoryPlanningMaintenanceOperationCostsAnalyticsRecommended EAM
04 — Evaluation

We evaluate the EAM beyond maintenance

Functional

Does it cover asset management, work orders, planning, and spare-parts inventory?

Technical

Does it integrate with the ERP and support IoT for real-time monitoring?

Economic

What's the total cost of ownership versus the reduction in unplanned downtime?

Strategic

Does it support predictive maintenance and analytics to anticipate failures?

Vendor

Does it have real experience in the organization's specific industry?

Adoption

Will the field maintenance team actually use it, or default back to paper?

Recommendation
Implementation roadmap

A technology recommendation backed by operational, technical, economic, and strategic requirements — not just maintenance features.

"We don't recommend technology off a catalog. Our job isn't to sell a particular platform. We evaluate the available alternatives and build a recommendation based on each organization's needs, priorities, and context. 100% technology-agnostic."

On the other side of the gap

This is what it looks like when the decision does reach execution.

Frequently asked questions

As a reference, the CIRA method's Identify phase typically takes 6 to 12 weeks, from the strategic kickoff through contracting support.

Yes — the Vendor criterion includes evaluating real experience in industries like manufacturing, energy, mining, or transportation, not just generic platform capability.

It is defined by the size of the asset base, the number of plants or sites, and maintenance complexity. Advisory costs a fraction of the license plus implementation, and keeps that investment from landing on a platform your operation cannot sustain.

Coverage of the maintenance cycle you actually run (preventive, predictive, corrective), field and offline capability, integration with the ERP and with sensors or SCADA, vendor experience in your specific industry, total cost of ownership, and ease of adoption by plant personnel.

Because in asset management the gap between what a demo promises and what the operation supports in the field is the widest in enterprise software. With no commission from any manufacturer, we evaluate that gap against criteria defined before seeing any product.
