Australian Maritime Systems
Australian Maritime Systems (AMS) was in the process of renewing its contract with its biggest client. If successful, AMS would be responsible for maintaining an extensive cache of aids. The contract obliged AMS to have the best and latest asset management software available. For this reason, it had be agile enough to adapt to handle growing requirements and mobile capabilities.
While AMS had previously been using an older version of Maximo, BPD Zenith recommended an update to version 7.5 to allow AMS to automate all aspects of maintenance operations. MaxiCloud for Ports was the best option because it lowered the entry cost and relieved the IT department of upgrading and supporting the product.
