Our Market
Our point of view on digital transformation
-
We believe that digital transformation is now well underway, and every Board is, and should be, worried about how to become a truly digital enterprise.
-
For organisations to succeed, Data must be treated as a mission critical Asset; Enterprise Data Asset Management (EDAM) is the single biggest success factor in a digital transformation journey, and most organisations are ill prepared due to many islands of disconnected data that is of unknown and/or poor quality.
-
Ultimately, Enterprise Data is the fact base that keeps your customers, your employees and your value chain partners connected and informed to deliver to your customer expectations and to achieve your financial goals.
-
Strong Enterprise Data foundations will be required to enable adoption of digital solutions including advanced analytics, robotic process automation, machine learning and artificial intelligence which are the next frontiers to productivity and market competitiveness.
-
There will be the haves and the have nots, the winners and the losers – if you are not investing in Enterprise Data Asset Management to feed your Digital Hub/Digital Operations Centre, then you are not investing in your future.
The addressable market is large and growing significantly
-
The global EAM market stood at USD 5.5 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate CAGR of 17% during the period 2020 – 2030, with its market size predicted to reach USD 25.9 billion. Key drivers underpinning the predicted growth include:
-
The strong focus on the best utilisation of assets,
-
Growing need to reduce maintenance and procurement expenses,
-
Digitalisation in industries resulting in increased market competitiveness,
-
The increasing preference globally for cloudbased/Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions, and
-
Growing internet penetration through the Internet of Things (IOT)
-
Historically the North American EAM market has been dominant. Major factors for this have been regulatory requirements, a strong presence of EAM vendors, and the investment by private & public organisations in the better management and exploitation of their asset base.
-
However, the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is forecast to be the fastest growing geographic market. The key drivers for this growth, particularly in an Australian context, are the fact that large business operations and utilities are asset intensive and that organisations are adopting, and continuing to refine, their use of EAM solutions.
Global EAM market is predicted to reach
$25.9B USD by 2030

Our Promise to Customers – an example
COSOL delivered an award-winning data migration project for CleanCo, Queensland’s clean energy provider, utilising its Proprietary Digital Solution RPConnect® and proprietary services and proving our capability to deliver SAP to S4 data migration, unlocking significant market potential.
==> picture [393 x 293] intentionally omitted <==
“We trusted COSOL to get this unusually complex project delivered, and have been consistently pleased throughout to see you continue to deliver every step of the way. I am certain that CleanCo’s journey to migrate our data from Stanwell and CS Energy would have been more stressful without COSOL.”
