Benefits of State of the Art System
inspectt
echIncreasing Quality, Enhancing Data Access, Improving Safety!
• Asset Management – leads to better safety, more efficient planning & lower operational costs.– Maintenance (search for & schedule needed repairs)– Programming (search for & schedule improvements)– Run Reports (save time not looking through paper
files)– Store & retrieve correspondence, plans, etc.– Lessen # of problems falling through the “crack”
• Public safety – reduced property damage and personal injuries by resolving problems sooner.
• Less Liability – as a result of better safety.
