Mid-market enterprise software supplier Infor (Alpharetta, GA) this week released a new enterprise asset management (EAM) suite built around pre-configured modules that is said to speed deployment and offer improved usability. Infor EAM Business Edition, available now, aims to help a company oversee the landscape of assets that spans the enterprise -- from trucks in a delivery fleet to desks in an office. The Business Edition EAM product has modules for management of a manufacturer's maintenance work orders, its purchasing activities, asset inventory, and preventative maintenance. Typical end users are the managers in maintenance and engineering departments. The front end of EAM Business Edition is a Web interface, but for now, the product is only available via on-premises installation. According to Marty Osborn, Infor's vice president of product marketing, another release in January 2007 will offer manufacturers the choice of traditional installation or an on-demand version that is hosted by Infor. Likewise, the January release will add support for Oracle databases; the current release supports only Microsoft's SQL Server or SQL Server Express (which is included with the product for companies that do not currently have a database).
