Edward Warnick is Global Principal Asset Lifecycle Management (ALM) Architect at IFS. He has spent nearly 30 years in Enterprise Asset Management, beginning at Indus International (now Hitachi Energy) and spending 18 years at IBM before joining IFS in 2025. Across three generations of EAM platforms, Edward has watched the same pattern repeat: what separates organizations that scale their asset management programs from those that stall is rarely the technology, it's the readiness of the people, data, and processes underneath it. He works with maintenance, reliability, and operations teams on maturity assessment, use-case prioritization, and roadmaps that survive contact with the field.
With aging infrastructure, rising maintenance costs, a lack of standards and increasing regulatory demands, energy companies are under more pressure than ever to maximize asset performance while reducing downtime, emissions, and risk. This workshop provides a clear, actionable roadmap for building an IAM strategy that not only delivers immediate operational improvements but also positions organizations for long-term resilience and competitiveness. Participants will leave with a structured approach to evaluating their current maturity, defining success metrics, selecting high-impact use cases, and scaling their IAM initiatives effectively.
