EAM/ERP Market Assessment

Prior to embarking on a transformation project to upgrade or transition your EAM or ERP systems, an independent market review can assess current best-of-breed systems and their suitability to your organisational and asset management goals.

An unbiased market review that enables an informed choice about ERP or EAM system investments.

It is inevitable that organisations mature and that means that their systems mature too. It is important that organisations recognise when to carry their business forward along with the ever-changing business environment.

There are many reasons why your organisation might be prompted to move from one Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) or Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to another. It could be that you need a systems upgrade, are having issues with the functionality of your current system, your current system doesn't support the growth of your business, or the solution is coming towards end of support from the vendor.

A COSOL EAM/ERP Market Assessment can assist asset-intensive organisations in reviewing which best-of-breed EAM/ERP systems would suit their needs and objectives.

In order to understand your organisation's strategic objectives, we run a number of workshops with the different business streams – including key stakeholders, finance, maintenance, human resources, and workplace health and safety teams.

Once we have identified the priorities for a new EAM system, we then use that information to drive a requirement-gathering exercise to provide unbiased recommendations of shortlisted EAM systems. This will come in the form of a physical report with the fit-gap analysis that will essentially give your organisation all the data it needs to put together a business case to invest in a new system.

At the end of an assessment, your organisation will be provided with a consulting report that has all the data gathered through the workshops.

This physical report will answer the following questions:

What's most important to you across the different business processes?
What do you need to see in your new system?

The assessment will also involve scoring your current system and identify:

where is it strong
where is it weak
where is it missing
what could be improved upon.
