Mobile EAM/CMMS Enhanced Functionality From AssetPoint

June 21, 2011 - PRLog -- Greenville, SC – AssetPoint, a leading provider of (EAM) Enterprise Asset Management and (CMMS) Computerized Maintenance Management Software solutions, announced enhanced mobile capabilities for its TabWare CMMS/EAM solution.

AssetPoint (http://www.AssetPoint.com) has been a leader in CMMS/EAM solutions for over 30 years, and it has offered a mobile maintenance solution for over 5 years. AssetPoint is partnered with Syclo (http://www.Syclo.com), whose Agentry mobile platform provides a set of tools and technologies that let customers integrate, develop, control and manage mobile apps that span many user groups, geographies and devices including iPads and other tablets.

With the added functionality, TabWare Mobile (http://www.assetpoint.com/products-eam-modules-mobile-suite-work-manager.htm) users are now able to download work orders and provide immediate feedback without traveling to a computer station. TabWare can now be run in wireless environments or in a disconnected mode where the user synchronizes through a cradling device. By eliminating travel time to pick up work orders and data entry for keying them, each technician can better focus their time on maintenance. Data captured at the point of performance will result in more accurate feedback and immediate posting of work completion.

According to the Aberdeen Group report “Enterprise Mobile Adoption”, 88% of best-in-class companies in their respective industries have a defined and documented mobile strategy. Further, almost two in three companies surveyed stated that mobile devices and wireless devices for remote connectivity are being used increasingly within organizations, replacing devices that do not have wireless connectivity.

Syclo’s Senior Vice President of Global Alliances and Business Development, Terri Snell said, “Syclo is singularly focused on mobilizing enterprise processes using our highly configurable mobile platform - without writing code or being an expert in various mobile development languages. Users can use any network as well as any device. Combined with TabWare’s robust features, customers will quickly realize strong ROI. Our case studies show companies who apply mobile maintenance capabilities realize increased productivity, reduced work backlogs and improved tracking.”

Corning Incorporated has been a TabWare customer for 15 years, and currently has over 3,500 TabWare users across 22 manufacturing plants. Corning has been using TabWare Mobile for 2 years, and appreciates the latest enhancements. “Without a doubt, we’ve seen increased maintenance productivity with TabWare’s enhanced mobile capabilities,” said Norma Hoffman, Corning’s Corporate TabWare Project Leader. “With the addition of the mobile capabilities, we are now able to focus more on Preventive and Predictive Maintenance efforts.”

AssetPoint President and CEO Mike Levine said, “We have been a pioneer in the mobile aspect of the EAM/CMMS industry, and our goal with these latest enhancements is to provide AssetPoint customers with the best mobile solution. Syclo’s 15 years of mobile experience combined with AssetPoint’s 30 years of Asset Management experience creates a proven foundation for success.
