Full-cycle asset management for utilities to streamline operations and manage complex assets.

Helped in improving the public utility asset management and maintenance processes in a short time

The client was constantly faced with challenges such as lack of connectivity which led to interruptions in work, regression of manual processes, and limited use amongst field technicians. And difficult situations like this called for a different approach which was fulfilled by the EAM360 mobile app. After performing a fit GAP analysis, scrutiny of essential VS desirable requirements and conducting vendor interviews- EAM360, powered by Maximo was chosen to implement COH’s implementation solution. 

What we anticipated along the journey

With no let up in safety, service standards and modernizing their delivery assets, the client is faced with increasingly challenges to do more with less. 

• Managing huge volumes of Asset & location data (800K+) from a mobile platform

• Complying with highly secure identity, access & security standards

• Offline mapping features to facilitate work in remote places

• Non-tech savvy and ageing workforce
