# The Lightning EAM Project

A project to create the World's fastest Enterprise Asset Management System capable of handling big data while at the same time using a modern user interface accessible from mobile devices.

## About

The Lightning EAM project is a revolutionary approach to managing asset data. The core ideal is to break down the myths surrounding Enterprise Asset Management created by corporations with a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. This enables us to start with a clean slate and select the best performing technologies that can handle modern asset information requirements such as big data and mobile.
Lightning EAM aims to provide all of the capabilities of commercial EAM software such as IBM Maximo, SAP EAM and Oracle EAM with the following advantages:

- Open source and free for both commercial and private use
- Modern database design for big data analytics and speed.
- Ease of customization and integration with other systems.
- Accessible from any operating system and device.

> **Core Technologies behind Lightning EAM:**

> - Amazon Web Services (AWS), the Worlds largest Cloud.
> - NoSQL MongoDB database capable of scaling to petabyte levels.
> - Support for Oracle and SQL Server through AWS RDS.
> - Data Warehousing with AWS Redshift.
> - Big data reporting through ElasticSearch and Hadoop EMR.
> - BI Analytics with AWS QuickSight.
> - D3JS data visualisation.
> - Data on the wire with Meteor.
> - Apache Cordova mobile integration for IOS and Android.
> - Google Material Design.
> - GraphQL by Facebook.
