RALEIGH, N.C., Dec. 16, 2025 – Prometheus Group, a global leader in enterprise asset management (EAM) software, has announced its acquisition of Actenum Corporation, a pioneer in AI-powered scheduling and optimization technology. The move expands Prometheus Group’s AI capabilities and further strengthens its position as the definitive platform for operational performance in asset-intensive industries.

For over two decades, Actenum has redefined scheduling as a strategic lever for enhancing efficiency and profitability. Its Decision Support Optimization (DSO) technology utilizes AI to transform complex scheduling data into actionable insights, enabling operators to increase throughput, reduce cycle times and maximize resource utilization across every phase of operations.

“AI is reshaping how organizations plan, schedule and execute,” said Eric Huang, CEO of Prometheus Group. “By bringing Actenum into the Prometheus AI platform, we’re giving customers a powerful new engine for intelligent operations. One that predicts outcomes, optimizes decisions in real time and unlocks measurable value across their entire asset lifecycle.”

Actenum’s impact through highly interactive AI-driven scenario planning and optimization is proven. Customers report faster scheduling cycles, greater team alignment, improved capital efficiencies and achieve multimillion-dollar efficiency gains through AI-driven scenario planning and optimization.

The addition of Actenum’s technology accelerates Prometheus Group’s strategy to unify the full spectrum of asset management from planning and scheduling to turnarounds and outages to performance optimization on a single, intelligent platform. The platform reduces manual work and complexity while increasing operational insight, helps customers focus their limited resources on the right work at the right time, and empowers teams to make faster, smarter decisions without disrupting existing processes. This integration enhances execution and aligns planning with real-world constraints, ensuring that every schedule is both data-driven and operationally feasible.

“We’ve spent years helping the world’s leading upstream oil and gas operators turn scheduling into a competitive advantage,” said Paul Maurer, CEO of Actenum. “Joining Prometheus Group allows us to bring that value to even more customers and expand use cases across asset-intensive industries including oil and gas, utilities, chemicals, mining and manufacturing. Together, we’ll deliver the most comprehensive AI-enabled scheduling and optimization platform available today.”

The acquisition reinforces Prometheus Group’s mission to help asset-intensive organizations work smarter, act faster and achieve operational excellence with confidence.
