Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)

EAM Design, Implementation And Training—All Tailored to Your Business By Advoco

Your business is unique, which is why we never suggest a one-size-fits all approach. Instead we start with proven, off-the-shelf software, then we work with your team to tailor the ultimate solution to your unique needs. With Advoco, you get the best of both worlds: the reliability, flexibility and trust that only off-the-shelf software can offer, plus you enjoy the added value that only a custom solution can create.

Minimizing Training. And Maximizing IT.

We pride ourselves in our ability to leverage the systems you already have in order to minimize training costs and time. The result: your team can use the new systems with minimal ramp-up time, and your business can start reaping the benefits of EAM faster.

Of course, wherever training is required, we are prepared to dive in deep. Our proven approach to developing and delivering customized training to our clients ensures that professional, tailored material will effectively communicate and teach users how to use new technology—with minimal loss of productivity. Our approach incorporates a variety of different mechanisms, from pre-training conference calls to increase awareness and set expectations, all the way through to fully interactive, exercise driven training courses. We conclude with post-training support and mentoring programs.

Product training includes: Infor EAM, Infor EAM Advanced Reporting, Infor EAM Web Services, Infor EAM Advanced Mobile, Datastream 7i, Infor EAM Fleet, Infor EAM Facility Management, Infor EAM Enterprise Edition and Infor EAM Business Edition.

Infor's Service Oriented Architecture coupled with Advoco's extensive knowledge of Web Services and EAM implementation methodologies provide you with the tools that you need to successfully deliver a fully integrated solution. Further, with Advoco and Infor, you'll have the expertise and technology you need to build “loosely coupled” integrations, which provides the flexibility to upgrade from release to release.

Take EAM Mobility Farther. With Advovo.

In our opinion, mobility does not mean just moving desktop functionality to a handheld device; rather, it means providing the critical functionality technicians need in order to do their job more efficiently and accurately directly on a mobile device.

Advoco, Infor, and BlueDot. The Right Formula for Infor EAM Mobility.

At Advoco, we bring this definition of mobility to life by drawing on our extensive experience with Infor EAM and Infor EAM Advanced Mobile, based on the BlueDot Solutions mobility framework. By working together with these two technology leaders, we ensure that your mobile EAM solution is much more than just a dumbed-down desktop on a handheld.

Finding the Path to Success, and Staying on it

Mobilizing an EAM system is not plug-and-play. Careful consideration must be given to your unique needs, market dynamics and how technology might change down the road. Which is why we place so much emphasis on up-front strategy and planning. Because if you start out wrong, making things right can soon become nearly impossible. We also bring extensive training expertise to ensure smooth adoption and rapid ROI (return on investment).

The Functionality To Move You

With Infor EAM Advanced Mobile you can go way beyond simply allowing technicians to log their hours. You can enable them to access tools to do inspections, work management, inventory control, and much more, including:

• Work management
• Asset management
• Inventory management
• Direct store delivery
• Meter readings
• Inspections & audits
• RFID for preventive maintenance
