Many asset-intensive organizations believe that having an EAM system embedded into their preexisting GIS system is optimal for asset management; however, this leads to an important problem:\u00a0<strong>what happens with non-spatial assets?<\/strong><\/p><p>Instead of embedding an EAM system into a GIS system, organizations should look for an EAM system that supports complete integration with your GIS data. This allows your organization to track all of its assets, not just spatial ones. Ensuring that your organization can effectively track all of its assets with the same amount of in-depth, life-cycle detail while capitalizing on the spatial functions of your GIS can increase the effectiveness of your organization and maximize the success of your asset management plan.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eaac132 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"eaac132\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Mobile work flows\n<\/h5>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2997327 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2997327\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Utilizing an asset management software that supports work flows both in the office and in the field decreases the chance for data inconsistency.
