STEAM's Customer Success Story with Dynaway Solution

Here is an example of a successful implementation of Dynaway's solution by STEAM Consultancy.

"STEAM Consultancy has been asked to execute a complex implementation of Dynaway EAM in Dynamics 365FO in Italy for an international client in the chemical industry. Due to a take-over, the plant faced the challenging task of re-implementing the systems and processes within three months.

During this transition, the plant had to keep operational and the time-line of this transition should not have any influences on this. Within this larger project we have been responsible for the systems and processes of maintenance, inventory / stock and engineering. Data downloads are provided by the outgoing holding. Subsequently, this data was analysed and restructured to be used efficiently in Dynaway EAM.

During the implementation, there was continuous consultation with the stakeholders and other implementation partners about the functionality, data structures and user roles and restrictions. As part of the project, the users have received training in the use of EAM in 365FO. After three months we went live successfully without any loss of data and functionality."
