What is Enterprise SMS
All Domains – Single Platform
The Enterprise Sustainment Management System (ESMS) Platform is the newest Sustainment Management System product designed by CERL to serve the needs of all the traditional real property domains served by SMS tools in addition to several, all on a single platform. While still under development, the ESMS platform will allow real property stakeholders the ability to forecast the portfolio health and financial requirements, performing consequences and trade-off analysis across every domain for which they are responsible (Buildings, Fuels, Utilities, Rails, Water Control, Waterfront, Pavements). Development of the ESMS platform began with the need of SMS capabilities for the Fuels Domain.
The development of the Utilities Domain within the ESMS framework followed soon after. From inception, the overarching vision for the ESMS application was to provide SMS capabilities for all real property domains under a single application. This allows for the cross-domain managent and visualization of investment decisions and prioritizations as well as reducing the number of software applications requiring maintenance for the essential task of real property infrastructure investment forecasting. That initial vision is nearing actualization and includes the real property domains served by the ESMS platform.
