MRO parts and materials generally have very high procurement costs relative to their value. However, management and procurement of MRO supplies is usually outside the core competency of most businesses and is often neglected and poorly managed. IHS Intermat Solutions pioneered the standardization of industrial MRO parts information 29 years ago, and since that time has remained the market leader in helping the Global 2000 optimize and manage their MRO data.

Clean Structured Data for ERP, EAM and MDM Systems
IHS Intermat Solutions finds that MRO parts information of many asset-intensive organizations is composed of unstructured "free-form" text, entered in a variety of ways, resulting in parts descriptions that are incomplete, inconsistent and non-comparable.

With IHS Intermat Solutions services and software you can restructure and redefine your MRO item data, so you can operate more efficiently, accurately, and cost-effectively. Our solutions improve the data that feeds Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), and Master Data Management (MDM) systems, including SAP® Materials Management (MM) module, SAP Service and Asset Management, SAP MDM, IBM/MRO Software Maximo®, Mincom®, Ventyx Asset Suite (Indus Passport™), Oracle (PeopleSoft®/JDE), Infor/Datastream, AssetPoint/TabWare, and many others. For more information on these benefits, see the Product Demonstration or read the Struxure, SMD, and services brochures.

For a proven process to lowering your MRO costs, see the whitepaper 'Unleashing the Power of EAM Systems by Optimizing MRO Catalog Data.'

You'll realize tangible and sustainable cost benefits through:

• eliminating excess inventory and procurement costs
