SAP for EAM

> Vesta is focused on implementing and supporting SAP for Enterprise Asset Management. More and more companies are turning to SAP for their EAM software needs. The tight integration of the SAP functions helps reduce integration costs, while maintaining a fully functional system for the management of the company's assets.

The core of SAP for EAM is contained in the implementation of the Plant Maintenance (PM) and Material Management (MM) modules. In addition to our PM/MM expertise, Vesta also provides implementation support for the many touch points for PM/MM such as Project System (PS), Controlling functions for maintenance cost control (CO), Fixed Assets links in Financials ( FI-AM), Document Management System (DMS), Business Intelligence (BI), etc.

Why Vesta Partners for implementing the maintenance business in the SAP solution? We know maintenance and we know SAP for EAM. Many implementation groups are strong in maintenance business practices OR they are strong in SAP implementations but Vesta Partners brings the complete package to the team.
