Introduction

Verosoft, a Canadian software company, is pushing the boundaries of enterprise asset management (EAM) by expanding its offerings through its Microsoft partner PASI. The recent collaboration aims to integrate Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central with TAG Mobi EAM, significantly enhancing the capabilities available to companies in the energy and mining sectors.

The Expansion Journey

Initially, the rollout began with about 50 users at Semirara Mining and Power Corporation (SMPC), which is among the largest coal producers in the Philippines. The objective was to establish asset management structures and maintenance processes before scaling up to over 2,000 users. This strategic expansion illustrates how Microsoft Dynamics 365 can support complex, asset-intensive environments traditionally dominated by larger ERP systems.

Rene Santos, PASI's President and CEO, remarked, "Business Central provided us with a solid ERP foundation, but integrating TAG Mobi EAM has opened doors to opportunities we couldn't access previously. It has transformed our capability to serve a different caliber of customers, allowing us to transition from mid-market projects to enterprise-level deployments."

Why This Matters to Microsoft Partners

This initiative showcases the unique potential for Microsoft partners to leverage Business Central, adapting it for industries such as energy and mining. By integrating TAG Mobi EAM, PASI demonstrates how partners can address enterprise-scale maintenance needs, deliver EAM solutions within the Microsoft ecosystem, and shift the focus of projects into higher-scale, industrial deployments.

• - Address Diverse Needs: The integration allows for comprehensive solutions addressing specific maintenance requirements prevalent in enterprise environments.
• - Extend Beyond Mid-Market: Customers can now obtain enterprise-level functionalities previously unavailable within the confines of mid-market ERP situations.
• - Repeatable Deployment Model: Partners are empowered to adopt a proven strategy for deploying complex solutions in various industrial sectors, enhancing adaptability across multiple projects.

Customer Context: Semirara Mining and Power Corporation

SMPC operates in a vertically integrated framework with its coal mines and power generation facilities. Its operations are widespread and complex, demanding a highly scalable ERP-EAM platform that ensures efficient maintenance and asset management throughout scattered and varied locations. The need for a robust system was underscored as SMPC sought to modernize its maintenance operations in anticipation of future growth. Previous legacy systems were limited and necessitated excessive customization, thus hindering effective asset management and maintenance standardization across its extensive fleets.

Challenges in Modernization

While aiming for modernization, SMPC faced hurdles presented by outdated systems that lacked asset hierarchy support, creating issues in preventive maintenance protocols across their mining and power production sites. Leadership pushed for a shift from archaic, paper-based processes to a streamlined, cloud-first model that enables extensive control and audits while enhancing performance metrics across operations.

Santos noted, "From the outset, we comprehended that SMPC required a complete enterprise asset management platform rather than a minimalist CMMS."

Delivering the Solution

PASI’s approach delivered a Microsoft-centric solution by combining Business Central with TAG Mobi EAM. The implementation covered both mining sites and energy plants, equipped with modules for health and safety, resource management, fleet maintenance, and intricate asset hierarchies, all while retaining core ERP data within Business Central.

The collaborative deployment began in December 2025, supported by collaboration between PASI and Verosoft professionals on-site.

Achievements from the Deployment

The successful integration has led to noticeable improvements in SMPC's maintenance and asset management goals, including:

• - Enhanced preventive maintenance across the spectrum of mining, power production, and marine operations.
• - Improved visibility into asset lifecycle costs from acquisition through maintenance to decommissioning phases.
• - Rapid transformation from a pilot rollout to comprehensive deployment across extraction sites and plants within five months.
• - A second deployment wave was achieved within one month, demonstrating the synergy of PASI and Verosoft’s efforts.
• - Expanded capacity for fleet and vessels management.

Santos emphasized, "Our role is advisory in nature. We focus on fully understanding the customer’s operational scenario to tailor the right solution around Business Central. The incorporation of TAG Mobi EAM allows us to effectively deliver comprehensive asset management without compromising our alignment with Microsoft principles."

Ultimately, scaling usage from approximately 50 to over 2,000 users marks a significant milestone not only for PASI but also for the broader Microsoft Business Central ecosystem within the challenging domains of energy and mining.

Conclusion

With practical implementations and significant scalability, the collaboration between Verosoft and PASI signifies a transformative development in enterprise resource planning for heavyweight industries. This enhances their operational efficiency and positions Microsoft Dynamics 365 as a powerful tool for asset-intensive enterprises seeking reliability and advanced integrative solutions.
