Maximo

HFL Building Solutions, one of the UK's foremost building services companies, has appointed SRO to supply and implement IBM’s enterprise asset management system, Maximo.

The contract is for implementation across the business of the full suite of Maximo products for HFL’s outsourced facilities management and mobile engineering services and includes IBM’s Maximo, Service Provider, Scheduler and Anywhere Mobile technology.

Maximo will be implemented at HFL’s head office in Manchester and for its mobile engineers working across the UK and is expected to be fully deployed by end of July 2016.

HFL selected IBM's Maximo after a detailed evaluation of several competitors’ products but found the suite of integrated Maximo products, with its Service Provider solution combined with SRO’s technical expertise and track record to be a compelling proposition.

Steve Driver, Managing Director of SRO Solutions said:

“We are excited to be working with HFL Building Solutions, implementing a full job lifecycle process including Service Provider, Scheduler and Anywhere Mobile. Maximo is one of the premier asset management solutions for outsourced facilities management service providers. Integrated with IBM’s Scheduler and Anywhere field service mobile technology, Maximo is a powerful solution helping outsourced service providers drive customer service and contract acquisition.”

Neil Bowran, Operations Director of HFL, stated:

“IBM’s Maximo and SRO made a compelling solution for our contract and operational management needs. As well as delivering our objectives for excellent customer service Maximo is well regarded by our customers and will enable us to offer a best-of-breed solution that will drive our business growth and better interface with our customers’ systems and processes.”.
