Governments and other asset-intensive industries depend on the efficient
utilization of infrastructure. Globally, USD447 billion is spent on
maintenance alone.1 Effective maintenance and management is critical
to extending the life of your investments. With the increased capabilities
of communications, transportation and IT, the global asset base has
become more complex. To reduce capital expenditures, governments
and institutions are under increasing pressure to be more efficient in their
asset utilization. In conjunction with ever-increasing environmental,
safety, regulatory and financial compliance requirements, governments
also are under continuous pressure to reduce headcount without
sacrificing service levels or quality.
Government asset management systems often don’t offer the visibility
and control over critical assets that can affect compliance and business
performance. The ability to manage and track asset information on use,
availability and performance can help avoid catastrophic events. In
addition, aging assets often require higher levels of maintenance, which
increases costs and decreases operational equipment efficiency (OEE).
