Software AG announced that SAP has agreed to integrate its market-pioneering Intelligent Asset Management Suite including Asset Performance Management (APM) with Software AG’s market-pioneering Industrial IoT Platform, Cumulocity IoT.
Customers will benefit from tight product integration and closed-loop asset performance management.
SAP's APM solution
SAP's APM solution provides live data and analytics for high-value, critical assets, empowering organisations to predict and prevent asset failures, reduce downtime, and improve overall asset efficiency. However, with the complexity of OT and IT landscapes and asset sensor connectivity, SAP APM customers need advanced capabilities to manage machine intelligence from any data source, any IoT platform, and from any machine.
This is where Software AG's Cumulocity IoT platform comes in, offering a centralised hub to connect and manage the assets and perform live monitoring and analytics by integrating data from a wide range of sources, including edge devices, legacy systems, and cloud-based applications.
Operational efficiency
Dr. Stefan Sigg, CPO of Software AG, stated, "By combining SAP's expertise in APM with Software AG's industry-proven Cumulocity IoT platform, we are delivering the next-generation APM with fast time-to-value that will help customers manage their assets remotely in a secure, scalable, and resilient manner and achieve even greater operational efficiency and outcomes."
Dominik Metzger, Head of Engineering, Digital Supply Chain, from SAP, added, "We are excited about this initiative with our partner Software AG and the integration of their Cumulocity IoT platform with our APM solution. This collaboration enables us to provide our joint customers with a comprehensive, closed-loop solution that enhances overall operational efficiency."
