The last time we published this report, we renamed it the Current Practices Report – because we don’t believe in “best practices.” We only believe in the practices that make sense for your specific vision. We wrote this to provide you with a resource so that you can achieve successful projects with EAM and foster purpose driven maintenance. This cross industry analysis explores the ways that over 200 members of the Infor EAM community are using their software and identifies key trends to drive the use of your EAM system.
