Implementation, Modernization & Upgrades

A technology strategy is only as effective as its implementation. Organizations can’t afford to have a system that’s poorly designed and not successfully implemented, adopted and optimized for the organization’s business processes. Keeping up with constant upgrades to technology and software solutions adds a layer of complexity to your strategy. We work closely with you to achieve successful implementation and alignment with business objectives.



HOW WE HELP

We work with a range of public and private utility clients to establish, manage and upgrade enterprise asset management (EAM) systems. Our consultants:

  • Design EAM processes and system solutions aligned with out-of-the-box architecture and system configurations.
  • Collect, cleanse, model and transform data to provide usable, real-time insights.
  • Integrate legacy and third-party software systems.
  • Evaluate, plan and execute migration (cloud vs. on-premise) and field mobility solutions.
  • Evaluate, plan and execute system upgrades to modernize and enhance performance.

OUR APPROACH

1898 & Co. consultants understand that implementation is where strategy and execution come together. It’s the last but most critical step in asset management transformation, and it requires experienced teams to see that every detail is accounted for. Our team is experienced and certified in industry-leading EAM solutions. Our consultants:

  • Drive requirements and process workshops with you, then design and develop EAM solutions.
  • Utilize prior EAM experience to develop best-practice solutions that balance configurations with long-term sustainability.
  • Apply comprehensive support for all critical project areas, including change management and end-user adoption, enabling you to recognize the value of your asset investment.
  • Develop proactive plans to manage the potential challenges any integration effort may pose, applying lessons learned from previous implementations to anticipate and avoid common pitfalls.
  • Provide regular communications and progress updates about your project.
