Reflecting on the tragic and painful day we all experienced 20 years ago. Remembering the victims, their loved ones, the brave first responders and their families.

Although no one is certain who first proposed the national holiday, observed since 1887, it’s come to be known as the end of the summer event. Labor Day, celebrated on the first Monday of every September, honors millions of hardworking Americans across the country. It’s a day in which the U.S. Department of Labor pays tribute to the “greatest worker in the world,” awarding time off with lively parades and festivals. Hope everyone has a wonderful Labor Day!

EAM applications are evolving rapidly as vendors invest research and development dollars into bolstering, augmenting and, in some cases, redesigning their EAM applications. As a result, it is extremely important for end users to understand how vendors and their software are positioned currently as well as how EAM solutions may be situated in the next three to five years. Organizations typically make a long-term commitment to their EAM applications because the costs to migrate the asset data, configure and customize workflows, integrate with adjacent systems, and train a distributed, and often partially outsourced, team of technicians is too high. Thus it is vital to evaluate the software vendor's strategy, road map, and responsiveness to customer feedback in addition to its present features and functionality.
