Workflow customization has streamlined maintenance tracking but still needs deeper flexibility
The best features Hexagon EAM offers, in my experience, are the status customizations, which are easier from an end-user perspective. Users can simply go to status authorization to make changes. The status custom license feature makes things easier for end users in that if a supervisor needs access to change a work order into cancel status, they can simply go to status auth, give the status auth user role, and then select the entity they want to do it for, such as purchase order. They select purchase order and fill in the from status to status and then save it. Once they log in to Hexagon EAM, these new statuses are reflected. Hexagon EAM has positively impacted our organization. It was our first project, and after go-live, it resulted in huge success. The client was satisfied and thrilled, and we received positive feedback. Specific outcomes from that success include cost reductions around 30%, labor utilization increased by 20%, and new users are adopting the systems and appreciate the product and are eager to work in those systems.

Centralized asset tracking has reduced paperwork and now improves maintenance efficiency
The best features IBM Maximo offers are that it is a comprehensive tool where we can get the purchasing of assets or spare parts in the same application. The reports are also very good. Additionally, the barcodes are valuable. We can print barcodes for all things we need. The UI also has a very strong appearance. We use the reporting feature very often. We have multiple reports, not just one. For each module, there are multiple reports and we can customize the reports based on our needs. For example, for a work order, we can print a report which gives all the details so that it is easy to carry out the steps required to fix the issue. There are also barcodes for items which we can paste on a bin or the item so it can be scanned with a barcode scanner, which is very easy. IBM Maximo has positively impacted my organization because it reduced a lot of time and has saved a lot of cost. For example, prior to IBM Maximo, we were doing only paperwork. Now that we have IBM Maximo in place, it is useful for tracking all assets and everything in a single solution with no data loss. Previously, multiple people handled this work, but now very few people do. This has helped us significantly.
