Is it Time to Invest in a CMMS?

eMaint VP joins GSH Group to share 'Tips from the Trenches' at Airport Council Spring Conference.

2013-05-07

MARLTON, NJ, May 07, 2013 (Press-News.org) The introduction of new technology system-wide can seem daunting when staffing is tight and budgets are even slimmer. However, in the case of a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), the cost of not investing often is far greater. A May 2 session at the Airport Council Spring Conference in Seattle recently explained why.

Leading the workshop, titled "Is It Time To Invest in a CMMS?" was David Galante, Account Executive for the GSH Group, and Gene Pargas, Vice President for Strategic Accounts for eMaint Enterprises. GSH supports a variety of companies, including airports, with facilities management and energy-control services. Since it made the switch to eMaint's X3 in 2008, GSH has experienced a 25 percent boost in productivity.

"When GSH came to eMaint, its mechanics and engineers reported spending significant amounts of time away from their real work, creating a 'paper trail' to track work orders and putting out fires that could have been avoided with more systematic preventive maintenance," says Pargas. "GSH isn't unique. The before-and-after success story it achieved for its clients can be a model for airports -- and other businesses -- everywhere."

Pargas and Galante particularly credit the "mobile" features of the CMMS -- allowing data to be entered or tracked anytime, anywhere via portable tablets or smartphones -- for the business transformation at GSH.

In their May 2nd workshop, Pargas and Galante offered a step-by-step guide to helping airport maintenance managers decide when and how they should convert to a CMMS. The conference, sponsored by the International Facility Management Assn. (IFMA), is designed to address the challenges of managing airports in a global economy.
