What is MP2?

MP2 is a computerized maintenance management system.

In the early 2000s, Datastream announced that they were going to do away with MP2 and stopped any further development or enhancements. MP2 delivers all the functionality small-to-medium businesses need to manage maintenance operations. There are two versions of MP2, Professional and Enterprise. The Professional version contains the bare bones basics while the Enterprise version is more robust. MP2 is not available in the cloud, and it requires installation onto a server with client installs. MP2 integrates with HxGN EAM, Parsable, and Oracle eAM.
