Move to another brand of CMMS that is like programs like MP2. In this case a better solution could be option two. For smaller companies that have fewer assets and maintenance activities, an EAM may be more than required, and the cost of the EAM may not fit the budget. They also offer cloud-based solutions and work order mobility. They have advanced features, built in KPIs and dashboards to provide the user with key information on maintenance performance and costs. An EAM has a more rigorous maintenance system to meet the needs of larger maintenance departments. If you are a medium to large facility, an upgrade to EAM could be the best route. However, EAMs in general are more complicated when compared to programs like MP2. MP2 clients wanting a more sophisticated version of a CMMS may opt for Hexagon’s offer to upgrade to EAM. The question MP2 users are asking is where do all these changes leave them in the future when Hexagon decides to stop supporting MP2 with software updates? Let’s look at some options. The new MP2 build will support the program on these platforms for the near future.

The 2020 MP2 program release provides support for 2019 SQL Server and Windows 10 platforms.

To Hexagons’ credit, they are continuing to support MP2 customers for the immediate future. With Hexagon’s latest decision this is the end of the road for anyone wanting to purchase MP2. To show their commitment, Infor updated MP2 with new features and add-ons and again MP2 became one of the industry favourites.

Infor reversed the decision to shelf MP2 and assured users and prospective purchasers that they had no intention of discontinuing MP2. Shortly after that announcement, Datastream was purchased by Infor in 2006. Datastream, the creator of MP2 announced they would be stopping the sale of MP2 in favour of their new EAM, called 7i. This is the second time in its history that MP2 has been on the chopping block. Since the 1990s, MP2 has been a long-time favourite of industries ranging from universities, hospitals, public works, and the manufacturing sector with approximately 15,000 worldwide installations with 800 in Canada. As the pioneers of maintenance software, they determined what companies required and provided the industry with a simple, easy to use CMMS software to track their equipment maintenance and spare parts inventory. MP2 along with other maintenance software, have been the industry standard for CMMS programs for the past 30 years. This past spring Hexagon announced they would no longer sell the MP2 software and invited MP2 customers to upgrade to EAM. Included in the purchase was Infor’s flagship enterprise asset management (EAM) and their CMMS, MP2. Earlier, Hexagon purchased Infor for $2.7 billion.
