NTT DATA Business Solutions Announces Strategic Partnership with Guernsey Ports to Implement Hexagon’s Enterprise Asset Management Solution
London, UK – On Tuesday, October 29th, 2024, NTT DATA Business Solutions announced a new strategic partnership with Guernsey Ports. The collaboration will involve the implementation of Hexagon’s Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) solution, marking a significant advancement in optimizing asset management across the Bailiwick of Guernsey. This partnership will establish a foundation for enhanced operational efficiency and resilience.
The initiative is part of Guernsey Ports’ Asset Management Strategy, designed to enhance resource use and embed lifecycle management for long-term value. With Hexagon EAM as the technology backbone and integration with SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), the organization is well-positioned to improve planning, streamline decision-making, and proactively manage asset-related risks.
“We are pleased to partner with NTT DATA Business Solutions,” said John Waterman, Ports Asset Manager at Guernsey Ports. “The Hexagon EAM solution will help us to enhance long-term planning, increase asset visibility, and ensure data is seamlessly integrated, supporting strategic decision-making and operational improvements.”
Guernsey Ports operates Guernsey Airport, Alderney Airport, Guernsey Harbours, Guernsey Coastguard, and the Registry of British Ships – Guernsey. As such, it oversees a diverse portfolio of assets worth approximately £235 million (net book value) including infrastructure, vehicles, and marine vessels. The adoption of Hexagon EAM reflects a commitment to maximizing operational efficiency and resource optimization.
NTT DATA Business Solutions brings its combined expertise in SAP and Hexagon to support Guernsey Ports throughout the EAM system’s deployment. The integration of Hexagon EAM with the existing SAP ERP solution will enable Guernsey Ports to benefit from a single view of all asset data between asset management and enterprise processes, providing a solid platform for operational excellence.
“Our expertise in SAP and Hexagon EAM uniquely positions us to deliver value to Guernsey Ports,” said Lee Sands, Head of EAM Solutions at NTT DATA Business Solutions. “Integrating Hexagon EAM with SAP ERP will enhance process efficiencies, giving the organization the tools needed to achieve data-driven insights into asset performance and optimize asset utilization for maximum operational impact.”
The Hexagon EAM system will provide a comprehensive platform for managing assets, including maintenance scheduling, risk monitoring, and lifecycle management. Its mobile capabilities will support real-time data capture and task execution, ensuring compliance with health and safety protocols while enhancing overall operational agility.
Key long-term benefits include:
– Improved Planning and Budgeting: Enhanced forecasting and capital project planning through real-time insights from integrated systems.
– Increased Asset Visibility: Seamless data flow between EAM and ERP for comprehensive asset performance monitoring.
– Optimized Resource Allocation: Lifecycle costing principles will enable more informed investment decisions.
– Enhanced Risk Management: Integrated compliance features will help mitigate risks across assets.
– Efficient Contract Management: Better oversight of contracts, leases, and warranty agreements through centralized data.
The partnership reflects Guernsey Ports’ dedication to maintaining international standards and driving ongoing improvement. Leveraging the strengths of Hexagon EAM and SAP will promote a culture of proactive asset management and sustainable growth.
“Implementing Hexagon EAM, alongside our SAP ERP system, is a strategic investment that will allow us to better manage risks, optimize resources, and ensure good asset management across our organization,” concluded John Waterman.
