EAM (Enterprise Asset Management)
EAM (Enterprise Asset Management) is the broader discipline and software for managing an asset's entire lifecycle — from acquisition through maintenance to disposal — across a whole organisation. It extends a CMMS with reliability, compliance and financial depth.
Where a CMMS focuses on day-to-day maintenance execution, EAM covers the full asset lifecycle and adds capabilities for reliability engineering, compliance, capital planning and multi-site financials. EAM suits large, asset-intensive organisations such as utilities, heavy manufacturers and transport operators.
