SAP xApp Mobile Asset Management For The Utilities Industry

Energy and water utilities rely on their supply grids and customer services for success. You need to make the most of your assets, and that means making the best use of the resources spent on maintaining grids and optimizing customer services.

You must also align the management of your technical assets with your business strategy. You must streamline processes and contain service and maintenance costs, while ensuring the high availability of all installations. In short, you need a holistic asset management solution – one that supports the entire life cycle of your installations, including planning, procurement, construction, operation, maintenance, and disposal.

Until recently, IT support for processes came to a screeching halt as soon as field services became involved. Whenever service technicians stepped out of the company gates to collect meter readings or repair defective devices, they were forced to revert to paper-based methods. As a result, long processing times and delays were the norm, compounded by repetitive, error-prone manual data entry.

The SAP xApp Mobile Asset Management (SAP xMAM) composite application for the utilities industry eliminates these problems. It enables you to seamlessly integrate field service with your business processes. Where you once relied on clumsy, paper-based systems, SAP xMAM enables fast, high-quality data exchange between field personnel and the back office.
