Charles County synchronized its Infor Enterprise Asset Management system with its GIS layers to fully manage assets and work orders. Over 200,000 pieces of equipment were transferred from ESRI GIS to Infor EAM in 2014. This integration allows users to access interactive maps to locate equipment, generate work orders, and add notes directly from maps. The integration establishes consistent asset information across systems and improves work order management.
2. Introduction
Charles County utilizes the Infor Enterprise Asset
Management (EAM) system to provide a powerful,
integrated tool to fully manage all aspects of the assets
and work orders of the Department of Public Works. To
maximize the power of this system, the County
synchronized the EAM with the County’s GIS layers,
launched a mobile initiative, and implemented a data
analytics program.
3. • In 2013 the County Department of Public Works (PW)
initiated the process of incorporating all of its
equipment into the Infor EAM system
• Storing all of their equipment in Infor EAM would
allow PW to track all costs associated with maintaining
County equipment
• To assist in accomplishing this goal PW needed to
synchronize the hundreds of thousands of underground
equipment stored in the ESRI GIS database with Infor
EAM
• As such it was decided that the Infor EAM GIS module
was needed to transfer the data from ESRI GIS to Infor
EAM
Infor/GIS Integration Project
4. • The Infor EAM and GIS integration was completed in
early 2014
• This integration synchronized over 200,000 pieces of
equipment from the County ESRI GIS system with the
Infor EAM equipment hierarchy
• The integration provided Infor EAM users with the
ability to access detailed interactive GIS map
containing layers, pumps, wells and lateral information
• Additionally the integration allows users to generate
WOs directly from the interactive map; permitting
users unfamiliar with the Infor EAM hierarchy to easily
locate equipment and generate WOs

8. • Establishes and maintains consistent asset information
across multiple systems
• Allows Infor EAM users to locate, capture and generate
one or many Work Orders (WO) from the interactive
map
• Allows Infor EAM managers to add directions or
notations to maps and attach to associated WOs
