Presentation: "Oracle Enterprise Asset Management (eAM) – Is it Right for You? "
Speaker(s): Jim Whiteman, Signum Group

The Oracle Enterprise Asset Management module of the eBusiness Suite has been available for nearly three years, but is not well known among companies that may be looking for their first maintenance system, or a replacement for their current one. This breakout session will cover why a company should consider Oracle eAM:

• How does it compare to other products,
• What is the cost / return proposition,
• What type of companies would benefit the most from using Oracle eAM.

Signum Group’s specific focus is to provide solutions and services for Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) and Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS). The company has successfully performed over sixty EAM/CMMS projects in twelve verticals worldwide in the past 10 years. In 2001, Oracle Corporation invited us to participate in the alpha and beta testing of their new Oracle eAM module because of Signum’ s extensive experience with “Best of Breed” Maintenance software packages. Signum continues as an active member of the eAM Field Advisory Board and recently assumed the position of Director for the Worldwide User’s Special Interest Group for Oracle eAM

The discussion will be informal. Attendees will be polled in order to determine their specific questions about EAM / CMMS systems and the discussion will be tailored according to their specific interests.
