System Implementation

System implementation is more than installing a multitude of applications. ZPro works with you to determine the best solutions to install, what modules are needed, and how to best configure applications based on your business needs, processes, and policies. We then perform the actual installation and configuration to meet those needs. Our team provides expertise in all aspects related to the system implementation process.

ZPro processes merge the necessary skill sets required to fully implement any EAM solution while specializing in the Maximo suite of applications. ZPro experience brings the capability for defining methodology across the breadth of your needs and allows us to translate that into actionable processes within the EAM solutions.

Integration, Deployment & Data Conversion

ZPro can convert your legacy data, develop a full integration methodology for your asset management policies and procedures, and then deploy the solution to end-users. ZPro consultants are experts in understanding and breaking down legacy data structures. We will align data with your business processes outlined in solution designs and then prepare the data for acceptance into the new system.

Integrating your data and the new application with existing legacy applications is critical and vital to the business and is key to every solution. Our team will develop integrations that allow your system of record to maintain the data and share it with the necessary applications that allow for meaningful and intelligent decisions. Deploying integration solutions is the final step in ensuring that the process is

functional and acceptable to users. ZPro will deploy the agreed designed solution across the identified environments and ensure the successful migration of data, interaction with integrations developed, and acceptance of the data transformations for a smooth transition.

· Asset maturity assessment

· Maintenance assessment

· RCM – Reliability Centered Maintenance: Controlling risk is a great area of concern for asset-intensive organizations. For these types of organizations, the cost of failure has the potential to be disastrous. Having the right risk management solution in place helps your team plan for the worst. Employing a Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) extension within your Maximo solution enables you to automate maintenance optimization by closing the work order feedback loop. The RCM extension is deployed in your Maximo environment using Maximo’s out-of-the-box configuration tools, thereby ensuring a seamless upgrade to future Maximo releases.

· Supply Change Management: While yesterday’s supply chains were focused on the availability, movement, and cost of physical assets, today’s supply chains are about the management of data, services, and products bundled into solutions. Modern supply chain management is about much more than just where and when. Supply chain management affects product and service quality, delivery, costs, customer experience, and ultimately, profitability.

· At ZPro we introduce technology to make better strategic decisions. A growing number of organizations have begun to realize the strategic importance of planning, controlling, and designing a supply chain as a whole. With the introduction of the Blockchain Platform, we align where you’re already conducting your digital transformation, with deployment options spanning multi-cloud, hybrid cloud, and on premise environments.
