Developed for the Military Sealift Command, Shipboard Automated Maintenance Management (SAMM) embodies the features required by a comprehensive maintenance management system. A component-based architecture allows for a customizable system deployment, providing business functions that make sense for the problem domain while limiting the administrative requirements for the end-user.

SAMM provides maintenance management features including automated maintenance scheduling (metered and calendar), unscheduled repair tracking and comprehensive history views to the asset level. Integrated condition-based diagnostic technologies include vibration analysis, used lube oil analysis, diesel engine combustion analysis, and insulation resistance monitoring. Additionally, SAMM provides a customizable "special test" software component, providing the user with a data entry template for periodic manufacturer recommended measurements.

SAMM Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) provide access to the following technologies: Asset configuration data via the MSC Configuration Management Information System (CMIS), Used Lube Oil Analysis results from testing laboratories, PENG/Win system interface, SMART system interface, Feedback Tracking and Maintenance Configuration Management via the MML system.

SAMM is a 32-bit, distributed database application, which operates on the Microsoft Windows 98, NT, 2000 and XP operating systems. Data is stored in the Sybase Adaptive Server Anywhere (ASA) RDBMS. The database design supports a distributed enterprise deployment through SQL Remote two-way message-based replication. The software system is totally customizable to the functional component level and provides access management to a business function level.
