WELCOME
To TEAMS Corporation

In 1978, our Chairman, Bob Nelson, founded Elke Corporation with the goal to design and develop computerized maintenance management software for companies with IBM Midrange computers. Many consider Bob as the “visionary of the CMMS industry” and we are very proud to be associated with him. His unique equipment-oriented experience includes over 30 years employment with the nation’ s leading highway construction company, where he computerized their operations in 1962. It has been often said: “If you travel a US highway east of the Mississippi, it is likely that Bob built it”. In the early 90’s the Elke Main/Tracker System was the most widely used EAM system on the IBM Midrange computer platform. Main/Tracker had over 2,500 systems installed worldwide, and was used in over 20 industries.

In 1993, System Software Associates (SSA) realized the need to incorporate an asset management solution into its “suite of ERP products called BPCS”, and acquired Elke. Elke’s Main/Tracker was renamed to BPCS Plant Maintenance at the time. In 2000, SSA was acquired by Gores Technology to become SSA Global Technologies. With its most recent release, Plant Maintenance has been renamed to BPCS Enterprise Asset Management (EAM).

During the last 10 years, several hundred new companies have joined the EAM install base. Today, with the continued support of SSA Global Technologies, the EAM product is still considered a “Best of Breed” solution and continues to be the most widely used EAM system on IBM’s iSeries computer family.

It is common knowledge in the software industry, that in order for an enterprise level application to enjoy long term success, there needs to exist a network of third party “value-added” vendors. These vendors demonstrate their dedication and commitment by providing sales, consulting, technical, and support services to the client base. TEAMS Corporation is one such vendor.

In the decade following the acquisition of Elke Corporation, the executives of TEAMS continued to provide comprehensive solutions to the BPCS EAM client base. In addition to providing solutions to the iSeries marketplace, we have expanded our practice to include NT based EAM solutions.

At TEAMS Corporation we know that our clients and business partners are a strategic asset of our business and a key reason for our existence. That is why we will continue to focus on helping our clients achieve their business objectives through the successful implementation of their EAM and related systems. We provide a total solution including application software, consulting, education, custom development, support, research services and hardware.
