With over 20 years implementing, upgrading, and managing Maximo projects, my experience started on Maximo Version 4 and has carried on through all major releases to now overseeing Maximo Application Suite 8 projects at BPD Zenith. Over the years, I’ve been lucky enough to work within and for a range of industry verticals including Utilities, Oil and Gas, Nuclear, Facilities Management and Pharmaceuticals. While each have their own distinct requirements and needs, my experience has taught me that working in partnership and listening to both End Users and Management to develop a system and processes that work for all stakeholders is key to success. This, together with working to an agile methodology which take new requirements and needs into consideration is how BPD Zenith works with all of our clients to deliver successful projects on time and to budget.
In recent years, I am seeing much more of an emphasis on digital transformation within Maintenance. With IoT sensors and other data sources starting to be used more intelligently to understand asset health, performance and optimise maintenance routines. Using this data with sophisticated dashboarding and reporting solutions such as LoveYourAsset, my Team and I are working with clients to reduce maintenance costs and improve reliability of critical assets. This, in conjunction with a well implemented Maximo Asset Management Solution like MaxiCloud, is providing our clients with tangible savings and a foundation which can grow and expand with them well into the long-term future.
