Transitioning to CMMS with Steve Ricard

CMMS stands for Computerized Maintenance Management System. These systems have been in existence since somewhere around 1965. They have, however, seen a dramatic shift from punch cards to the modern architecture we see today.

Steve Ricard of Fiix joins in this episode to share his insights on how organizations can make a successful transition from older to more modern CMMS.

The focus areas for the episode are:

  • How to know when to transition?
  • What drives organisations to make the shift?

SMRP 07 – IoT Readiness with Kevin Clark

SMRP 07 – IoT Readiness with Kevin Clark

The internet of Things (IoT) is often assumed to be understood by everyone. However, there is somewhat of a disconnect between what we know IoT to be, and actually implementing it especially on larger scale. 

Kevin Clark helps us clear the air around IoT and how organizations can prepare themselves to make the most of it.

A few of the highlights touch on:

  • Why organisations should bother with IoT today
  • How to prepare for IoT implementation
