New partnership offers customers more choice

EPM and Real Asset Management Plc (RAM) have today announced a head of terms agreement that will see the two maintenance management specialists forming closer links in software design, support and implementation.

EPM, which supports an array of blue chip clients including BPLogistics, Rolls Royce, Diageo, Scottish Fuels and BUE Viking, provides a complete end-to-end solution to help asset intensive companies effectively manage and maintain their resources.

The new partnership will see EPM and RAM collaborate more closely on major projects offering customers a wider array of products and services.

Commenting on the agreement, Gary Kerr, EPM’s managing director said, “Our engineering team has been involved in some of the most complex asset management strategy and site survey projects ever undertaken in the UK.  Our reputation not only relies on the experience of our audit team but the quality of software products we use and recommend.” 

“We hope to complement RAM’s obvious strength in software design with the experience we have gained in supporting clients in asset intensive environments.” 

The two companies have drawn up a blue print of key issues which they believe their combined efforts are best targeted towards. These include:-

• Change management procedures
• CMMS workflow and resource scheduling
• CMMS planning, training and customisation
• CMMS audits
  

 “I am convinced that what makes the difference between a ‘software package’ and a ‘software solution’ is the way in which it is implemented, said Karen Conneely, Group Marketing Manager. Nowhere is that more relevant than in the successful deployment of new Computerised Maintenance Management Software.

 “EPM, who have formulated and implemented asset maintenance strategies for some of the largest manufacturing and production companies in the UK, will through this agreement give RAM that all important framework and hands-on experience,” continued Conneely.

RAM, which has successfully implemented its products in over 3,000 organisations across 70 countries, has set ambitious growth targets for its CMMS application, Maintenance4000.  

“Both teams have already learnt a lot from each other,” added Conneely. “Looking forward I see this agreement as being invaluable in achieving our objective of being one of the UK’s foremost CMMS specialists.”
