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. Today, every Hexagon solution is mapped and tagged according to its level of automation, so customers can clearly track our progress towards the freedom of autonomy.Earlier, Hexagon purchased Infor for $2.7 billion.

Ultimately, our innovations will give rise to new technologies and applications - many of which we’ve yet to imagine. Our transition to Intelligent automation is accelerating.
