In asset‑intensive industries, managing equipment, infrastructure, and physical assets efficiently is no longer optional - it’s a business necessity. Many organizations still struggle with fragmented systems, reactive maintenance, and limited visibility across asset lifecycles.
This is where ServiceNow Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) plays a critical role.
What is Enterprise Asset Management (EAM)?
Enterprise Asset Management refers to the end‑to‑end process of managing an organization’s physical assets - from procurement and installation to maintenance, optimization, and retirement.
A modern EAM system helps businesses:
- Track asset performance in real time
- Reduce unplanned downtime
- Improve maintenance planning
- Extend asset life
- Ensure regulatory compliance
Why Traditional Asset Management Fails
Many enterprises rely on legacy ERP systems, spreadsheets, or disconnected tools. This creates several challenges:
- No single source of truth
- Reactive maintenance instead of predictive
- Poor coordination between operations and maintenance teams
- High maintenance costs
- Delayed decision‑making
Without real‑time insights, asset failures become expensive and disruptive.
