Executive Summary
This report provides buyers of asset performance management (APM) software in industrial firms with an overview of the current state of the market and a high-level assessment of nine of the most innovative vendors in the market. The study finds that the rise of cloud computing, industry 4.0 strategies and proven APM analytics is triggering renewed interest from customers and more aggressive product development plans from vendors. Where APM software providers differentiate is on the breadth and depth of analytics as well as workflows which ensure the insights generated by powerful BI tools are made actionable for a wide range of users. The benchmark of vendors on eleven APM analytics and workflow capabilities finds that ABB, AspenTech, AVEVA, Bentley Systems, Detechtion, GE Digital, IBM, SAS and Uptake offer a broad range of functionality to meet the needs of buyers in a range of asset-intensive sectors.Asset Performance Management Supports Operational Excellence Strategies
