Build my requirements →Infor EAM as a standalone asset management leader
Infor EAM is one of Infor's flagship products and, unlike most Infor modules that are evaluated only as part of the broader CloudSuite platform, it stands on its own as a best-of-breed solution widely deployed even by organisations that do not use Infor for ERP. It runs on AWS as part of Infor CloudSuite, using Infor OS for its technology layer, including Coleman AI for predictive maintenance insights, IoT integration for real-time asset monitoring, and Birst analytics for asset performance reporting. Analyst firms including Gartner and Verdantix have consistently recognised Infor EAM as a leading solution in enterprise asset management.

Infor EAM vs IBM Maximo and SAP PM
Infor EAM vs IBM Maximo: both are best-of-breed EAM solutions. Infor EAM tends to offer a lower total cost of ownership and faster implementation, while Maximo has a larger partner ecosystem and stronger market presence in certain verticals such as nuclear and oil & gas. Maximo's recent pivot to Maximo Application Suite (MAS) on Red Hat OpenShift has introduced licensing complexity that has pushed some customers toward Infor EAM.
Infor EAM vs SAP PM: SAP's Plant Maintenance module is functional but has historically been weaker than dedicated EAM solutions. SAP has been investing in Intelligent Asset Management to close the gap, but organisations with complex asset management requirements typically find Infor EAM or Maximo more capable. Many SAP ERP customers run Infor EAM alongside SAP for this reason.
Who should consider Infor EAM
Strong fit: asset-intensive organisations in utilities, energy, transportation, government or mining; organisations needing a best-of-breed EAM regardless of their ERP platform; companies wanting strong GIS and linear asset management capabilities; organisations seeking a cost-effective alternative to IBM Maximo; and Infor CloudSuite customers wanting native ERP-EAM integration.
Consider alternatives if you are deeply invested in the SAP ecosystem and want a single-vendor approach (SAP Intelligent Asset Management), if you need the largest possible partner and integration ecosystem (IBM Maximo), or if your asset management needs are basic enough to be met by your ERP's built-in maintenance module.

Infor CloudSuite Asset Management FAQ
Does CloudSuite include plant maintenance for manufacturing equipment?
Yes — advanced plant maintenance covers maintaining production equipment, tied to the same units and configuration data used elsewhere in the system, rather than running as a disconnected maintenance log.
Is fixed asset accounting part of asset management or handled in finance?
Fixed assets sits within asset management here, tracking asset records and depreciation-relevant data, which connects to CloudSuite's finance module for the accounting postings rather than duplicating asset data in two places.
Can rented or leased equipment be tracked as an asset?
Yes — rentals are tracked as part of asset lifecycle management, useful for CloudSuite's manufacturing and distribution customers that mix owned production equipment with rented machinery.
Is asset management as deep here as CloudSuite's manufacturing or finance modules?
No — asset management has a much smaller catalogued footprint than manufacturing, finance, or field service in CloudSuite. It covers core plant maintenance and fixed-asset tracking adequately, but buyers with heavy EAM needs (like IFS or dedicated CMMS customers) should scope this specifically during evaluation.
