The Problem
Identified gaps may be driven by functionality overlap between technology or applications, or a lack of integrated configuration to best optimize asset management processes. The ‘TO-BE’ solution architecture may involve selection of a software application from an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System), Lock-out Tag-out application, or more.
Organizations are not geared to be industry experts and be up-to-date on all information management solutions available in today’s market. Additionally, the process to document as-is processes, align processes to required functionality, evaluate functionality criticality and priority is daunting. This is required to determine the content of an RFI, short-list to 3-5 best fit solutions, and issue an RFP.
