The end of stand-alone systems
HxGN EAM Works Best with Other Systems
In today’s business environment, you don’t have the time to update multiple systems with the same data. Running a series of stand-alone business process applications can cause:
- Mismatched data between applications
- Duplicated record numbers for different kinds of data
- Limits on scope of change, or expansion
- Data loss, when one application fails
- Slow process time
- Employee frustration over having to enter the same data into disparate systems
By tying HxGN EAM to your ERP, HCM, and production controls, you can simplify how data are moved from one place to another.
HxGN EAM can receive data from nearly any relevant source, which means you don’t have keep employee, cost center, supplier, and other base record sets up-to-date with outside applications.
Your ERP and other applications can receive data from HxGN EAM, making your business processes run more efficiently – and that will save your team time and money.
You’ll find a hidden cost in entering the same records in more than one system – or worse, compartmentalizing functions just to keep life simple. By having HxGN EAM work with your ERP and other packages, your business process can be automated, eliminating data entry errors, process delays, and data loss.
HxGN EAM is designed to integrate with other application. The system has native integration tables in the database, and a host of tools for moving information in and out of forms.
Consider connecting HxGN EAM with your other business applications. Your systems will suddenly be consistent, and your reports showing better results.
You’ll also find your team much happier because information only has to be entered one time.
INFOR EAM IS DESIGNED TO INTEGRATE WITH OTHER APPLICATION. THE SYSTEM HAS NATIVE INTEGRATION TABLES IN THE DATABASE, AND A HOST OF TOOLS FOR MOVING INFORMATION IN AND OUT OF FORMS.
In one example, a company may keep spare parts records in HxGN EAM and an ERP system. Suppliers records must be updated in both systems. Part orders are made in the ERP, and parts are received in both systems. Cost codes, units of purchase, and other base data become mismatched because no one group can keep up with both applications.
This problem is compounded when tracking meter and part count information for releasing PM work orders; making requests to the production scheduler for equipment downtime for PM work; or even keeping up with employee records between human resources and the maintenance team.
MP2 AND SYSTEM INTEGRATION
MP2 is available on an MS SQL database, which does give you flexibility for moving records in and out of the system. The bad news is that MP2 is not good for system integration.
The MP2 database will corrupt records, and potentially even table structures. Your technical team will have to develop system integration tables in MS SQL with extensive error handling. Worse, you are limited in how data are segmented in the database.
If you need to integrate your maintenance system with other packages, consider upgrading to HxGN EAM. With the upgrade you get a full assortment of integration options, and a stable environment that won’t corrupt data.
