Shackle,
MIMS is an EAM system. It grew out of the requirements of a RIO tinto site at Weipa in Qld. And is now one of the foremost managers of enterprise level requirements in the world. Its main competitors are maximo and , recently, a host of ERP style systems including SAP, JDE and PRONTO.
As an EAM system MIMS is most focussed on the areas of Operations and Maintenance and has provably reduced maintenance and inventory costs for many clients.
Feel free to contact me for some more specific advice. I am not a representative of Mincom, nor am I selling anything.
regards
Oz
