The analysis takes into account the previously mentioned market drivers and how APM providers are delivering solutions to help organizations meet mission-critical goals. With these categories and trends in mind, GE Vernova’s APM showed great technical functionality, strong vision, and demonstrated progress in areas deemed important by the market.

Meeting Buyer Demand:
  • Need for experienced vendor with deep industry track record: Building on more than 130 years of experience delivering energy, GE Vernova has also been developing digital solutions across all energy types for decades. GE Vernova is uniquely positioned in Oil & Gas, Power Generation, Power Conversion, Renewables, Aviation, Mining & Metals and more—with significant install base in each.
  • Robust data management for asset analytics: Since the release of our cloud and on-premises APM V5 in 2022, GE Vernova has been continually modernizing and architecting our platform to handle the massive increase in data. Our APM is able to connect to other enterprise systems, offers asset hierarchy alignment, can ingest structured and unstructured data and also works across any OEM-type and failure mode. Due to this, APM can act as a centralized location for all your asset data.
  • Out-of-the-box functionality: Verdantix classifies a need as “out-of-the-box,” however, in software that term overpromises and underdelivers. With complex assets and processes that are unique to each industry and organization, the promise of “out-of-the-box" falls flat. With our Accelerators product we offer configurable asset templates due to organizations’ demand for adjustability.
  • Ability to streamline workflows for workers: In the same vein as robust data management, GE Vernova’s APM provides workers immense value. From a single location, users can build asset strategies, quantify risk, deploy no-code routes for operators, track near real-time health indexes, perform RCAs, set up advanced pattern recognition, identify ways to reduce fuel consumption, and create mechanical integrity programs. GE Vernova’s APM also provides mobile applications for Asset Health and Integrity to further amplify employee productivity.
  • AI/ML Capabilities and vision: As the GenerativeAI hype-cycle begins to slow, it is important to remember that there is more to AI/ML. At GE Vernova we leverage numerous ML-model types and deploy AI on images to ingest structured and unstructured data. Our usage of this technology spans autonomously tuning turbines, digital twins, computer vision, and fuel consumption reduction.
  • Emissions management applications: GE Vernova announced our CERius product this year. With pilots already in progress with Xcel Energy and Azito Power, CERius is delivering on the collection, analysis, and actioning of emissions data to help reduce Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions. Within our APM suite, GE Vernova also provides applications to reduce fuel consumption, eliminate loss of containment events and monitor thermal performance of turbines.
  • Strong implementation or implementation partners: GE Vernova employs industry experts with a ton of experience—both in technology and operating hardware. In addition, GE Vernova works with partners like Bilfinger/Stork, EY, AWS and others to help ensure that APM is enterprise-ready and your data is producing the most value for your organization.
