Maximize the Value of Your UpgradeGE Digital’s APM (Meridium)


Whether you’re an Inspection Manager

or a Maintenance/Reliability Manager

running a department, you have a lot of

data and need to know how to best

util ize that data.

APM platforms, such as GE Digital's

APM (Meridium), are powerful tools that

leverage data to enable improved asset

reliability and availability.

GE Digital’s Asset Performance Management

(APM) Software


Why facilities struggle with GE Digital’s APM

Lack of Vision & GoalsWhat does a high-quality program look l ike for your organization? What information should you be tracking? How wil l you know if your program is effective and meets both company and jurisdict ional requirements?

Data Quality IssuesI f crit ical information is not accurate and accessible, mechanical integrity and reliabil i ty programs and their associated return on investment wil l struggle.

Software-Focused ImplementationsThe idea that software alone can solve every challenge is not a winning strategy and typically only amplif ies other issues—whether that be data, work processes, or lack of vision.

Activity Exclusion to Minimize CostsMany important implementation steps are often overlooked, deemed unnecessary, or not considered due to cost or t iming concerns.


Our Approach:

By aligning the functional needs of the business with the technical capabilities of APM, the full potential of your software can be unlocked.


The upgrade process presents a unique opportunity to assess the existing program and utilize the upgrade as a catalyst to drive change and improvements to the integrity and/or reliability program.

The Decision to Upgrade

Assess the Functionality of the Existing ProgramAssessing your existing program will enable you to address long-standing pain points, address inefficiencies in work processes, and realign programs to achieve significant improvements.

Change/Improve Integrity and/or Reliability ProgramIf done correctly, the upgrade will allow you to refresh your program by keeping current pieces you like, discarding what isn’t working well, and leveraging new capabilities.


Define: Lay the foundation by designing the program to work effectively and to deliver a return on investment.

Implement: Apply agile and lean principles to the implementation process to keep end users engaged and execute efficiently.

Sustain: Oversee the transfer of ownership of the application and work processes to the end-users.
