In fact, it seems the other CAS uses a somewhat different convention
from Mathematica, so that:
Simplify[Normal[Series[a^(Sqrt[m^2 + 1/u^2]/m), {u, Infinity, 9}]] /.
a -> Exp[(-y)*u], {m > 0, u > 0, y > 0}]
(1/(384*m^8*u^7))*((384*u^7*m^8 - 192*u^6*y*m^6 +
48*u^4*y*(u*y + 1)*m^4 -
8*u^2*y*(u^2*y^2 + 3*u*y + 3)*m^2 +
y*(u^3*y^3 + 6*u^2*y^2 + 15*u*y + 15))/E^(u*y))
gives an answer closer to the one the other CAS gives. It is still
not the same, but unlike power series, this kind of assymptotic
expansions are not unique.
