Press releases

• Getting more out of your assets Although we are being bombarded almost daily with bad news about the economy, there are still companies that are going from strength-to-strength as Manchester based SRO Solutions recently highlighted. Steve Driver, director at SRO explained, “The last 12 months have seen rapid growth for us. Not only have we taken on new staff in all parts of the company, but we have had to move to larger premises to cope with the increased demand for our asset management solutions based around IBM Maximo. “With money being so tight, organisations are looking towards getting the maximum return from their investment in plant, machinery and other assets. This is where a mature and cost-effective asset management solution like Maximo can really make the difference - even for smaller companies. Automating maintenance processes to improve productivity and reduce downtime “Over the past 12 months we have implemented Maximo in many different types of organisation ranging from small manufacturing companies through to multi-national shipping giants. Irrespective of size or location they have all experienced reduced downtime and improved productivity, vital factors in ensuring continued success in the troubled economic climate.” SRO’s consultants have got to visit many parts of the globe in the last year from Canada to Malaysia and Aberdeen to Los Angeles. Their skills have been invaluable to organisations wishing to get the most out of their Maximo asset management solution, and Steve believes this trend is only going to continue. “An organisation can make significant savings by maximising the return on their existing assets. An integrated and sophisticated asset management solution like Maximo automates the processes surrounding routine and one-off maintenance tasks, helping to ensure maximum uptime and profitability. “This is important at any time, but particularly with the current world economy. We can already see from the increased number of enquiries we are receiving that organisations are waking up to this fact and we believe that Maintec 2012 will be really busy for us.”

• Maximo users save money by attending Maintec 2013 To coincide with their exhibiting at the 38th annual Maintec, from 5th March to 7th March 2013, SRO Solutions today announced a number of special offers that will be of particular interest to IBM Maximo users, as Keith Bostock of SRO explained. “IBM Maximo is a world class asset management solution used by many organisations across the globe but, like any software investment, it requires professional, reliable support and effective training to ensure the return on investment is optimised”. “From experience, SRO knows only too well the importance of support and training but also understand the financial pressures upon customers today, that is why we will be offering Maximo users at Maintec 2013 a number of special offers that can only save them money. These include; training 3 people for the price of 2, guaranteeing to beat the cost of their existing Maximo support from their current supplier and free use of the SDU Maximo upgrade tool that delivers ‘no-downtime’ Maximo upgrades. “We believe these offers will be very popular and, as they are limited in number, will be quickly snapped up by Maximo users at the show. So we are urging any Maximo users who are planning to attend Maintec 2013 to visit us at stand C23 as soon as they arrive to make sure they don’t miss out.” Too find out more about the special offers and the seminar, please contact Keith on 0161 200 5427.
