What is enterprise asset management?
Enterprise asset management (EAM) is the process of managing the maintenance and lifecycle of physical assets to plan and optimize their use, track maintenance activities, schedule replacement and even manage disposal. The process is essential to improving operational efficiency, minimizing risk, and reducing costs of equipment ownership.
