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. Earlier, Hexagon purchased Infor for $2.7 billion.
