GIV Solutions
Leadership through the new frontiers in EAM

Asset management—the decade old enterprise function is taking on a new meaning today, as it moves from the boiler room to the boardroom and become a significant contributor to business strategy. While asset management in the past was largely focused on the physical assets-extending the lifecycle, improving efficiency and enhancing performance, recent initiatives have shifted the focus more to asset’s critical role and its ability to meet the organization’s broader business needs. In this new initiative, the physical assets are moving from the periphery toward the center. “The asset is then sustained by all the supporting business processes in a harmonized and integrated manner,” states Meir Givon, CEO and Founder, GIV Solutions. “In essence, the asset will live long life, and perform excellently with high efficiency, availability, safety, and reliability. If neglected, the asset will “die”, and those who depend on it, may suffer in many aspects,” he adds. As a result, an increasing number of asset owners and operators whose core business relies heavily on the asset performance are realizing the need for broader approach to asset management. “The key, to a sustainable asset management, lies in the ability of an organization to bring a more holistic approach to their infrastructure planning and cross enterprise, cross discipline, decision-making process,” elucidates Givon.

Helping organizations formulate an effective approach to EAM is GIV Solutions—a company that offers professional strategic consulting, management, know-how, guidance, implementation and training in all aspects of asset and equipment operations, maintenance and policies-including computerization, business processes and control.

Turning Vision into Reality

“I always had a vision about the ultimate system–how the EAM platform should look, operate, function and deliver support,” says Givon. In 2008, the vision turned into reality as GIV Solutions partnered with Infor, a provider of enterprise business software. With this successful collaboration, GIV Solutions extended its portfolio of offerings with vertical industries based on INFOR EAM™, adding them to the traditional EAM and Asset management industries.
