AM System (re)Design & DevelopmentTurn Asset Management Strategy into Processes and Systems That Work
Certus + Egis deliver AM System (re)Design & Development services that translate high-level asset management recommendations into practical changes across processes, data, and technology. By bridging the gap between strategic advisory and system execution, we align field workflows, data governance, and EAM software configurations (such as IBM Maximo) with ISO 55001 standards, ensuring asset management strategy is embedded into daily operations.
When Does Your Asset Management System Need to Change?
AM System (re)Design & Development is the engineering and digital process of configuring, structuring, and aligning an organisation's asset management workflows, data architectures, and software tools to execute enterprise strategy. Asset management challenges are often symptoms of problems further upstream. Poor investment decisions, unreliable asset health scores, or ineffective maintenance planning originate from how information is captured, structured, and managed. Common triggers include:
-
Poor Asset Data Quality: Critical condition, performance, or risk information isn't being captured consistently or at the right point in the asset lifecycle.
-
Disconnected Processes & Systems: Field, maintenance, engineering, and investment processes operate separately, creating critical gaps in information and decision-making.
-
Strategy That Can't Be Implemented: Maturity assessments identify what needs to improve, but fail to translate recommendations into specific process and system changes.
-
Systems That No Longer Support the Business: Existing EAM configurations, workflows, or data structures don't reflect current asset management objectives, risk frameworks, or operating requirements.
From Strategic Recommendation to System Design
Certus + Egis bridge the gap between asset management advisory and implementation.
We start with the outcomes your organisation needs to achieve, then work backwards to determine the processes, information, data and technology required to support them.
For example, improving asset investment planning may require better asset condition information. That can mean redefining what data needs to be captured, redesigning field inspection processes, improving asset structures and changing how information is configured and managed within IBM Maximo.
Rather than treating each issue in isolation, we address the underlying system so improvements can be sustained.

How Do We Bridge Strategy and System Design?
01
Define Target Outcomes
Establish the specific asset management outcomes, service levels, and decision requirements your organisation needs to achieve.
02
Map Information & Data Flows
Redefine what asset data must be captured, designing data structures, hierarchies, and field inspection workflows.
03
Design Workflows & System Architecture
Develop detailed process specifications, governance rules, and software configurations for EAM platforms like IBM Maximo.
04
Deploy & Integrate
Translate specifications into live system configurations, mobile tools (Touchstone Mobile), and operational workflows for seamless execution.
What Does AM System (re)Design & Development Enable?
Better Asset Information: Capture the right data at the source to improve confidence in asset condition, performance, and risk.
Stronger Decision Making: Give maintenance, engineering, and investment teams reliable information for operational and strategic decisions.
Connected Processes: Align field activity, asset information, maintenance planning, and investment decisions around common asset management objectives.
Sustainable Improvement: Address the underlying processes and systems creating problems rather than repeatedly correcting downstream symptoms.
A Clear Path to Implementation: Translate strategic recommendations into practical specifications that can be configured and deployed effectively.
Proven in Practice
Certus + Egis are delivering transformational outcomes for clients around the world.
Why Choose Egis + Certus for AM System Design?
-
Closing the Advisory-Execution GapTraditional advisory engagements identify gaps but struggle to turn recommendations into implementable configurations. Certus + Egis combine asset management advisory, engineering expertise, and enterprise technology capability to connect strategy directly with operational systems.
-
Deep IBM Maximo & Field Mobility IntegrationOur deep understanding of IBM Maximo Application Suite and Touchstone Mobile ensures we consider not only what information an organisation needs, but how that information will be captured, managed, and used in practice.
Turn Asset Management Recommendations into Action
Move beyond identifying the problem. Design the processes, information and systems required to deliver sustainable asset management improvement.
Frequently Asked Questions About AM System (re)Design & Development
Asset management system design defines how an organisation's people, processes, information, and technology work together to achieve its asset management objectives. It includes asset hierarchies, data requirements, workflows, governance, decision frameworks, and supporting software.
Redesign is required when existing processes and systems no longer provide the reliable information needed to manage asset condition, performance, risk, or investment. It is often triggered by changing business goals, regulatory shifts, new technology, or an EAM transformation.
We translate strategic requirements into practical process, data, and system specifications that directly inform how IBM Maximo is configured and used. This ensures technology supports asset management goals rather than operating as an isolated IT platform.
No. The starting point is the business and asset management outcome you need to achieve. We determine the necessary changes across processes, information, people, and technology before translating those into technical system configurations.
Strategy & Roadmaps identifies current maturity, strategic priorities, and the path forward. AM System (re)Design & Development takes those priorities and designs the specific processes, information models, and system changes required to put the strategy into practice.
