The new era of asset intelligence: Cloud-connected, AI-driven, future-ready


Part 1 – Asset intelligence: An NCS whitepaper 

We’ve released a whitepaper - The new era of asset intelligence: Cloud-connected, AI-driven, future-ready – that unpacks how AI, digital twins, and cloud-native platforms are reshaping enterprise asset management. Through real-world examples from NCS clients, it offers a practical framework for organisations to adopt predictive, data-driven strategies that deliver measurable gains.

Asset-intensive industries are entering a pivotal era – one marked by aging infrastructure, heightened climate risk, and growing demand for service reliability. In this environment, technology is no longer a support function – it is the foundation of resilience, efficiency, and sustainability. 

Asset-intensive sectors face mounting challenges – from aging infrastructure to climate-related disruptions. Yet the path forward is increasingly clear: AI and digital twins offer a powerful means to shift from reactive to predictive operations.
 

Key insights


Embracing opportunities with modernisation 

Modernising the system of record offers transformative potential. As Maximo, SAP, Ellipse, and Infor platforms move to the cloud, energy, utilities and resources (EUR) organisations face a critical opportunity – not just to upgrade technically, but to simplify legacy customisations, adopt best practices, and unlock real-time integration with AI and digital tools. These cloud transitions position asset systems to become systems of insight.
 

AI as an enabler for accelerated growth 

At the same time, AI is moving to the core of asset strategy. Globally, executives rank AI as the most transformational technology of our time, with adoption increasingly centralised through Centres of Excellence to ensure scalability and compliance. Sectors like manufacturing and infrastructure are already reporting ROI from predictive maintenance, AI-powered inspections, and generative tools that accelerate planning and field operations. 

Together, these shifts point to a new model for asset management – one that is cloud-connected, insight-driven, and ready for what’s next.
