Fulton Hogan
Rory Bell, Project Manager, Plant Asset Management. |
| |
| "The major benefit in running a plant asset maintenance system is the compliance management. We have a major responsibility to keep people safe out there when they're around their equipment and we have a lot of very dangerous stuff; bitumen tanks, asphalt plants, all those sort of things. So, that's the major driver to our senior people to get them to listen is the statutory management of their assets to make sure they're safe." |

International Power
Paul Webb, IT Project Manager. |
| |
| The main thing we find with Maximo is that it's so scalable. We can throw it into a huge organization and open every portal up for all of them to use or we can keep it as simple as possible, which is our company standard, our company methodology. Keep it simple. Don't take anything away. Let the people understand their own business first, the business processes, and then let it grow. Let it expand in time. |

McCarran International Airport
Bob Kingston, Assistant Director of Aviation. |
| |
| The beauty of a system such as Maximo is the supervisors have complete control over the job steps and if there's anything that needs to be adjusted, they can do that very quickly and update the system, and then it automatically would roll into all of the other work that would be forthcoming from that same set of job steps. |

United Space Alliance
David Mitchell, IT Asset Management Process Owner. |
| |
| "One of the things that was extremely apparent is that the tool was powerful, but it was highly configurable and we felt that that ability to configure the tools to our needs would be a great benefit. Every organization feels that it's special, but we only have a very few space shuttles and we truly do have unique processes and we try to be as mainstream as possible, but anytime you’re dealing with manned flight in space, you want to make sure that your processes are solid and that you protect your processes." |
