Service Lifecycle Management: Future-proofing the Manufacturing Industry by Enabling Equipment-as-a-Service Manufacturers that make the shift from a product-centric approach to an Equipment-as-a-Service (EaaS) model can increase margins and improve customer satisfaction. However, OEMs that resist streamlined, digital adoption could face detrimental outcomes, especially during times of economic uncertainty. Studies indicate that over the next five years, service-based organizations are prioritizing advanced technology adoption to curve downfalls and predict growth. By integrating Service Lifecycle Management (SLM) technology, OEMs can ensure their customers’ needs are being met while confidently navigating the EaaS market. Get this Syncron eBook to gain insight into the need for complex goods manufacturers to make the shift to EaaS by adopting SLM solution technology. You will learn how: Streamlining SLM leads to operational efficiency The EaaS business approach establishes stable and predictable revenue streams To overcome challenges with EaaS implementation SLM digitalization improves customer satisfaction To optimize aftermarket processes with a holistic SLM approach. Manufacturers that adopt a digital approach to aftermarket service lifecycle management have the advantage of accurate forecasting technology that can “reduce aftermarket supply chain costs, improve parts availability, and automate planning processes for increased efficiency.”

The extensive benefits of digital technology are clear, but the risk associated can be alarming, as massive cyber attacks and data breaches affecting the well-known organizations continue to make headlines. The issue of security is explicitly important when it comes to all-flash arrays, because external solid-state drives are more vulnerable to file-recovery attacks compared to internal drives. While most AFAs offer disk-level encryption, that is the only level of encryption they allow. If data is encrypted anywhere else,  the AFAs cannot perform data reduction and the entire economics of AFAs break. AFAs have to rely on data reduction (in a ratio between 3:1 and 6:1) to minimize the price premium to a point where it is affordable. This white paper explores how choosing a storage array that relies heavily on data reduction limits the organization’s ability to protect its data and prevent data breaches.
