Overview
EAM360, a next-generation Mobile application for Maximo , is implemented for efficient management of a City’s utility assets and its maintenance/service related activities.
Challenges:
With paper-based processes and the delays in updating the data, the asset managers and process managers experienced critical information gaps.
