In an interview, Smartware Group president Paul Lachance talked about the mobile computerized maintenance management systems (CCMS). Lachance said that professionals often approach maintenance with a corrective mindset, only addressing asset faults after an issue has occurred. However, addressing these failure points after the fact too often puts an unnecessary burden on an organizations time and resources. Powerful CMMS tools can offer immense value to any industry where asset maintenance and operation is routine. Smartware Group's signature product, Bigfoot CMMS, is a cloud-based CMMS application that serves manufacturing, data center, mining, energy and utilities, hospitality, and distribution clients. The transportation industry can also look to industries like data centers to see the clear financial benefits of CMMS. On average, organizations lose $138,000 per hour due to data center downtime. A preventive mindset can help companies evolve from a reactive or corrective maintenance approach and avoid such severe financial repercussions of asset malfunction.
