University of Navarra’s School of Engineering Implements Infor EAM to Efficiently Manage Facilities

Infor today announced that the University of Navarra's School of Engineering has deployed Infor EAM Enterprise Edition. Infor's Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) solution now handles the management of facilities and energy efficiency at the University's Technological Campus (TECNUN) and Gipuzkoa Centre for Technical Studies and Research, whilst also facilitating decision-making in order to optimise maintenance resources and improve the productivity of both equipment and staff.

Infor EAM is a comprehensive solution which will help TECNUN manage all Campus facilities - a total of 27,000 m2 distributed over five buildings, with more than 200 research groups using precision engineering equipment.

The project started in June 2008 and the first phase went live at the end of December 2008. Now, any member of staff from the campus can access Infor's EAM solution via the corporate intranet and make service requests, whether maintenance-specific (including breakdowns and malfunctions) or general requests, such as applications for changes or moves.

According to Franklin Díaz, Ph.D. Eng. from the department of works, installations and maintenance, University of Navarra: "Using Infor EAM, we are able to cover all facilities management needs, control the development, performance and maintenance of all our assets, and comply with the University's goals of corporate social responsibility. The system is also used to support specific seminars on industrial maintenance techniques as part of the course content for our students."

The agreement also includes the creation of a Centre of Excellence where students will acquire in-depth knowledge of Infor's EAM solution.

"Throughout the world Infor EAM is enabling educational institutions to achieve operational, financial, and environmental excellence," stated Leo Bensadón, country manager, Infor, Iberia. "We are very excited to be partnering with a university with such a high international profile, and such a strong commitment to its faculty, students, and employees. Infor EAM will help the University of Navarra control costs, improve service responsiveness and quality, and maintain superior campuses and facilities. "
