Charles Phillips and his company, Infor, could now tack management-down-to-the-particle as part of their creative portfolio. The discovery of the Higgs Boson particle, only the hugest idea in the world of physics since Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, could not have come without pooling a team of scientists all trundling out their own equipment, ideas, and personalized scientific methods. Achieving cohesion in quest of a slippery discovery like the Higgs Boson particle would have required a special degree of sophistication in databases of findings and inventories of equipment. A large Hadron Collider is no construction crane; it smashes protons into each other and performs feats of Particle Physics documented through formulae and geek jargon. Imagine creating a database for that.

Charles Phillips and his team of software and application developers at Infor rolled out the Infor10 Enterprise Asset Management software, which was responsible for the inventory of at least a million pieces of equipment used for the longitudinal research on the Higgs Boson. Infor was tapped by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) to systematize operations for the Large Hadron Collider in Geneva. The extensive use of Infor10 EAM was spun off by CERN into several other applications that took care of other maintenance processes apart from inventory. Security, road management, and other scientific activities were all outsourced for management into Infor10 EAM.
