Fort Myers FL - January 22, 2007—Reliabilityweb.com announced the launch of the new SAP Plant Maintenance (SAP PM) Best Practices Benchmarking Study designed to provide a self assessment method for SAP PM users on a global basis.

“In 2004 we studied the broader Computerized Maintenance Management (CMMS) and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) markets. Since then a great deal of consolidation has taken place and SAP has clearly got the largest percentage of the maintenance software market.” states Terrence O’Hanlon, CMRP, Publisher of Uptime Magazine and Reliabilityweb.com. “We have recently seen some extraordinary SAP Plant Maintenance “best practice” companies - and we think that is beginning to reflect in the Earnings Per Share (EPS). We have also seen some “worst practice” companies. We decided to get a better snap shot of real word SAP Plant Maintenance practices post EAM market consolidation.”
