Report Highlights Aptean’s Flexibility and Configurability, Cloud Delivery Models and Customer Value

ALPHARETTA, GA, June 25, 2021 – Today, Aptean, a global provider of mission-critical enterprise software solutions, announced that it was named a Major Player in the IDC 2021 MarketScape for Worldwide SaaS & Cloud-Enabled Manufacturing EAM Applications. In its report*, IDC cited Aptean EAM’s strengths, including its configurability, simple end-user interface, integration with Aptean’s other manufacturing applications (including MES, EMF, WMS and ERP) and continued expansion of new capabilities with global support.

The IDC MarketScape rigorously assesses prominent SaaS and cloud-enabled asset-intensive EAM application vendors’ qualifications according to capabilities and strategy criteria relative to the EAM vendor peer group, as well as the criteria that is most important to companies considering a software solution. The criteria evaluated included: Architecture, Customer Satisfaction, Customer Delivery Service, Functionality and Range of Services.

Aptean EAM is a multi-tenant SaaS EAM application targeted toward midmarket manufacturing, energy, and food and beverage companies. Aptean EAM is a customer-centric solution used to plan, control and optimize the required maintenance activities of all assets, with an intuitive interface to monitor asset performance and the visibility to manage work processes that can ultimately reduce costly downtime.

Our EAM has been developed and built especially for midmarket manufacturers looking for a streamlined and configurable solution capable of handling the demands of complex operations.
