A complete asset and service management solution for Local Government*

Maximo^® Enterprise Suite (MXES) from MRO Software is a complete Asset and Service Management solution for Local Government. It enables councils to address regulatory requirements, improve safety and services, maximize asset performance, and reduce IT and operational costs. MXES encompasses all asset classes-production, linear, facilities, fleet and IT. It provides industry leading asset modelling suited for all infrastructures, including water distribution and sewer collection networks, roadways, municipal fleet and plant and facility assets, allowing Local Governments to consolidate all asset systems onto one platform.

Built-in features tailored to Local Government, such as service level agreements, service desk, mobile capabilities, contract management and standard integration adapters, shorten time-to-value.

MXES streamlines both IT and business operations by unifying not only the various processes for asset tracking and asset management, but also the legacy systems used for tracking and management. MXES also enables Local Government to manage the increasing number of service providers, whose performance directly impacts asset accountability and capital and operating budgets.

To further reduce IT complexity and improve reliability and data integrity, MXES manages all assets from a single, central data repository.

Built on a standards based, services oriented, Internet-ready architecture, MXES supports a centralised implementation across multiple departments and locations. It integrates with key financial and business systems, including ERP, GIS, and AVM, and can be easily extended to include procurement and supply chain solutions for asset related materials, plus mobile access to asset data via hand held devices like PDAs and mobile phones.

MRO Software is the leading provider of Asset and Service Management solutions with decades of experience in Enterprise Asset Management (EAM). For Local Government departments of all sizes MXES meets requirements for a pragmatic and cost effective solution that unifies Asset and Service Management enterprise wide.

Built from the ground up on a modern, service oriented architecture using Java, Web services, and other strategic standards, MXES offers strong, long term value with unequalled flexibility and freedom of choice.

To date, the requirement to manage different classes of assets has resulted in a patchwork of poorly integrated systems that cannot provide executive level information about asset maintenance, replacement, or lifecycle history.

MXES from MRO Software provides a complete solution for Asset and Service Management that supports the needs of diverse government asset classes and the regulatory and accounting concerns of individual departments. Now Local Government can begin to replace separate, legacy asset management systems with a unified solution.
