When searching for an EAM solution, companies should not only take into account the asset management capabilities of a system, but the analytical features as well. As the most widely deployed, technically advanced solution for Asset Management, Datastream 7i offers ideal EAM system functionality with analytical capabilities. Its superior technology and modular design makes it easy for companies to incorporate Asset Management into every aspect of their business. The addition of Datastream 7i Analytics provides customers with in-depth, flexible reporting and graphing capabilities for analyzing key metrics, forecasting performance issues, and optimizing performance through informed preventive measures.

More than just EAM software, Datastream 7i combines comprehensive tools for asset management with a thorough set of resources that companies can use to help create a collaborative environment and improve the efficiency of their operations. These powerful features are part of what makes Datastream 7i more than an EAM system. They are designed to provide users with the most current data and ensure cost and time efficiency in the process.

An essential part of the EAM solution that makes up a portion of Datastream 7i, the Asset module allows companies to identify, track, locate and analyze their physical assets. Asset life and productivity are maximized through the compilation of asset data, such as location, cost history, warranties, claims, meters, permits, and documents.

Key performance indicators (KPIs) are another useful feature of Datastream 7i that those looking for EAM software should consider. KPIs allow users to define and monitor asset performance indicators. For example, the mean time between equipment can be monitored without the need for running reports. Dashboard-like gauges provide a quick way to view how assets are performing compared to user-defined benchmarks. This makes Datastream 7i ideal as an EAM solution, as well as an analytics tool for making forward-thinking decisions based on the performance of capital assets.

In regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, stringent requirements set forth by regulating agencies present unique challenges for EAM software systems. Failure to meet regulations set forth by agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) can result in catastrophe—including fines, plant closings, and lost revenue.

Datastream 7i's flexible nature and various features allow companies to construct a solution that meets regulatory requirements, improves efficiency, and increases the bottom line. EAM software and other functions give companies the ability to:

• Improve operational productivity and processes
• Track, manage, maintain, and extend the life of critical assets
• Comply with 21 CFR 11 regulations and ISO standards
• Increase the productivity of staff and equipment

Datastream 7i software can provide more than an EAM solution for companies involved in life sciences, and a number of other industries. It provides a comprehensive Asset Management solution that works to ensure delivery of projected financial results.

The economic return on capital assets determines the success of process manufacturing companies. EAM software alone often isn't enough to ensure that capital assets are being properly managed.

Its advanced analytics capabilities allow users to make informed decisions on the performance of capital assets that optimize maintenance schedules, reduce downtime and increase overall efficiency.
