The current state of asset-intensive businesses

Asset-intensive businesses around the world share common challenges when it comes to their daily operations. Every one of these organizations faces the challenge of trusting critical documentation about their assets, minimizing downtime and outages,  while maximizing the safety of their operations. 

Specifically, some of the challenges these businesses face include:

• Long downtimes and outages due to inefficient collaboration in asset-related projects
• Inconsistent or incomplete plant information
• Decreased safety due to out-dated and erroneous work procedures or material safety data sheets
• Complex document handover processes between employees and contractors
• Documents that are not easily shared with users outside of Maximo

All of these challenges can be correlated to how effectively the company manages its data and information. In essence, asset-intensive companies have incomplete details on plant locations and assets, or cannot find the information in time to share it with the right people due to scattered file systems and information silos. This leads to confusion and, ultimately, safety and productivity issues.

Qellus’ Extended ECM for IBM Maximo has been designed to help solve these problems. It helps companies organize and manage their data, linking assets to the documents that help them run efficiently and safely.

Qellus’ solution is the link between your documents, securely managed in OpenText, and your assets registered with Maximo. It gives you the ability to access that content directly from Maximo as well as through a browser or mobile device within OpenText, where the associated metadata from Maximo assets can be leveraged. This helps your team locate information immediately, based on familiar and relevant asset attributes.

In addition to this, Qellus Extended ECM for IBM Maximo enables you to integrate drawings from your engineering systems directly into the same ECM repository – allowing for trusted integration of critical engineering drawings.
