SmartAsset Introduction

The SmartAsset product is the result of the redevelopment into .NET of an older and quite successful product called FMMS.

SmartAsset This redevelopment project has accomplished much more than simply providing an upgrade path for existing customers. In the past our product had been aimed at the mid to upper range market for Asset Management applications, beyond the reach of prospective customers at the lower end of the market.

SmartAsset consists of Three key ingredients

SmartAsset EAM is a new generation, comprehensive enterprise asset management application that enables asset owners to better manage and maintain their plant, facilities and equipment. It is based on .NET utilizing object-oriented philosophy such that each component and distinct function are identified as classes, objects and methods.

SmartAsset Office 2007 Extensions enable deployment of key asset management functions including asset navigation and monitoring, maintenance and project planning, task assignment, and reporting via the Office 2007 products, thereby providing their users with the same comfort and familiarity enjoyed with those products.

For example, the Task and Calendar functions of Outlook can be overlaid with SmartAsset functions in order to navigate the asset hierarchy, display planned maintenance jobs as tasks and to show them in the Calendar based on their due dates. Additionally, maintenance jobs can be selected into Excel worksheets for subsequent analysis and presentation.
These are just a few examples of how SmartAsset functionality can be deployed by a widely accepted Microsoft tool that is already familiar to the user. This ability constitutes significant savings to the customer in relation to training, productivity and deployment costs.
