Service-centric Asset Management: a Foundation for Automating Asset Lifecycle Management and Planning

by Dennis Drogseth, VP, EMADennis Drogseth

To define an “NGAM marketplace” in 2010 would be to create a fiction that currently doesn’t exist. Rather, NGAM is a landscape of many markets and technology, logically associated more in the way that species evolve in an ecosystem than in the way an engineer/philosopher might create a Platonically perfect set of categories from scratch.

EMA views the NGAM technology landscape in two complementary buckets: Foundations and a category called Analytics, Optimization and Business Planning.

EMA is doing a complete mapping of the NGAM marketplace in a free Webinar on March 2 entitled How Asset and Service Management Integration can Accelerate Cost Savings and Improve Business Alignment, but to give you an idea of what we’ll be covering – including relevant vendors – here are some of the more important NGAM categories.
