Several years ago, Bentley University’s facilities management department sought a solution to automate its business processes to better control operating costs yet maintain a first-class campus. The school wanted to deploy an asset management system to help automate all facilities management processes, including work order management and the cumbersome annual dorm inspections. Dorm room inspections involved a time-consuming process of logging invalid inspections, keying that data into a system, and issuing paper work orders. Bentley turned to Infor™ EAM for a web-based asset management system, drastically reducing the manual overhead and time required to process work orders.

Brewster Dairy is the largest manufacturer of all natural Swiss cheese in the United States. The company has experienced steady growth in the Swiss cheese market since the dairy was purchased by John Leeman in 1965. Over the years, Brewster (which is now owned and operated by John's son Fritz) has expanded its production and warehousing facilities in Brewster, Ohio and added a production facility in Stockton, Illinois and another in Rupert, Idaho. The company sought to deal with multiple challenges using Infor EAM: connect systems to eliminate the need for duplicate data entry, enable inventory to be expensed as it is received, and update older systems to take advantage of new functionality.

Underperforming assets can have many far-reaching—and negative—impacts on the overall health of a 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 companies to make investments in new equipment that could have been avoided. Inadequate asset management can expose companies to violations of safety regulations and compliance requirements.

Hospitals and healthcare facilities like yours face increasing pressures to grow operating margins and comply with regulatory standards, even as you strive to meet your primary mission—providing high quality patient care. As the healthcare industry focuses on achieving top-line growth, it faces a major challenge in managing medical equipment, which includes tracking and managing mobile assets, complying with ever-changing regulatory standards, guarding against equipment failures, and managing clinical equipment inventory. All this is complicated by the increasingly important role of energy usage, and the need to ensure higher asset performance at a lower energy cost.

The Software as a Service (SaaS) model as part of the Web 2.0 revolution is considered a very attractive, viable and cost effective solution for delivery of business applications to businesses of all sizes. This has become more apparent in the delivery of computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), also known as Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), where increased internet availability to maintenance and facility management departments of organizations is occurring everywhere. To evaluate whether a SaaS solution is a good fit for your organization, it is helpful to understand what the SaaS model is and how it compares to traditional, premises-based CMMS solutions.
