Companies in asset intensive industries require Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) solutions that continually improve operations. Unlike other consulting firms that deliver just process or software consulting, Stratum delivers both, Best Practices and Technology, for a fully integrated approach.
Stratum’s Asset Quality Model (AQM) is a service architecture that addresses the challenges of managing EAM business processes, data, technology, and organizational requirements.
Stratum’s AQM includes three core EAM solution areas, each with their own specific service offerings.
- Performance Management to measure processes and continuous improvement
- Technology to enable automation and integration of business operations.
- Best Practices to optimize roles and responsibilities, operational processes, and data structures.
Stratum’s unique approach by defining the end state first allows companies to define clear goals and executive improvements with measurable results.
Performance Management
Best Practices and EAM Technology yield uncertain value without a method to measure them. Stratum’s Performance Management solutions evaluate and measure key performance indicators (KPIs) for business processes. Stratum’s AQM guidelines require that performance management solutions provide three types of evaluative criteria: performance metrics, reporting and analysis, and performance audits.
A well-planned strategy and organized execution of all three key solution areas are keys to EAM success. Stratum relies on a defined implementation services life cycle to ensure solutions are implemented in the correct order and in a continuous improvement manner.
Technology
Best practices and performance management solutions are enabled through effective EAM Technology. The foundation of EAM Technology is the core EAM platform, which is configured to enforce defined work processes and Best Practices.

Companies interested in sustaining or improving performance should be evaluating gaps between current operations and best practices.
Stratum focuses on three challenge areas: management of roles and responsibilities, operational processes, and data structures. To answer these challenges, Stratum organizes Best Practices into:
