What is EAM?

Enterprise Asset Management — the full lifecycle view of what you own and maintain.

EAM (Enterprise Asset Management) is the discipline — and the software category — that manages assets across their whole lifecycle: acquisition, operation, maintenance, and disposal. A CMMS manages the work; EAM adds the asset's financial and lifecycle context — cost to date, depreciation, replacement planning.

Where a CMMS answers 'what work is due?', EAM answers 'is this asset still worth maintaining?' — feeding repair-versus-replace and capital-planning decisions with real maintenance history.
