# [Increased EAM Efficiency and ROI Through Data Strategy Standard](https://blog.nexusglobal.com/increased-eam-efficiency-and-roi-through-data-strategy-standard)

A major North American power generation company discovered that implementing an EAM system was only part of the solution. Poor asset data, inconsistent standards, and limited cost visibility were preventing the organization from realizing the full value of its Maximo investment.

By establishing a stronger data foundation, the company improved maintenance efficiency, increased confidence in its EAM data, and created measurable operational savings. 

## The Challenge: Poor Data Was Limiting EAM Performance

The organization faced several common asset data challenges:

- Multiple data silos across facilities
- Limited visibility into maintenance costs
- Inconsistent asset information
- No structured Asset Management Plan
- An EAM implementation without a standardized data foundation

Without reliable data, the organization struggled to make informed maintenance decisions and maximize the value of its technology investment.

## Building a Better Data Foundation

Nexus Global used **Data Optimizer™** and **Strategy Optimizer™** to establish standardized master data and improve the company's maintenance strategies.

The approach helped create a more reliable foundation for Maximo while improving visibility, consistency, and maintenance decision-making.

## The Results

The data and maintenance strategy improvements delivered measurable results:

**40% reduction** in non-value maintenance tasks

**50% decrease** in indirect process costs associated with poor data

The organization also achieved:

- Improved Maximo data accuracy
- Greater employee confidence in EAM data
- Better maintenance cost visibility
- More standardized maintenance processes
- Stronger support for financial forecasting

## Better Data Creates More Value from Your EAM

An EAM or CMMS can only perform as well as the information supporting it. Standardized asset data helps organizations improve maintenance decisions, strengthen planning, and gain greater value from their technology investments.
