For your organisation to stay up-to-date and competitive in the market, new technologies need to be adopted at an increasing pace. As a result, the IT landscape of your building operations will become more complex. Verdantix has written a report on this new strategy of opening up Planon’s IWMS Platform.

2020 has had many challenges and we really value your support and continued business, and look forward to working with you again in 2021. We wish you and your families a safe and peaceful festive season and a prosperous 2021.

As always, in place of sending Christmas cards this year, we have donated to our chosen charities instead.

In some industries, there’s no such thing as a flexible deadline.

In 2017 Ineos bought the Forties oil and gas pipeline from BP. It carried 40% of the UK’s oil production. This was a huge transition of a major asset.

Our job at Vetasi was to move BP’s asset management IT system to Ineos’ infrastructure so when Ineos fired it up, everything would work just as it did before.

We had four months. Extending the deadline was not an option.

Delays would be hugely expensive. And because managing a pipeline is safety critical, there is no margin of error.

We are pleased to announce a strategic new appointment, Graham Drinkwater, to lead our Mobile Centre of Excellence across the Group. Vetasi is mobile provider agnostic and works with its customers to precisely meet their requirements and needs. Graham will be working alongside our market leading partners including IBM, Cognito iQ, Interloc Solutions and Prometheus Group to enable our clients to link their field force directly to IBM Maximo and improve safety, productivity, compliance, and asset performance.

Vetasi, an international consultancy specializing in IT solutions for Work & Enterprise Asset Management, are pleased to make two significant announcements:  the appointment of Jaroslaw Lukasiewicz and Trevor Roberts to the Group Board and the appointment of Jaroslaw Lukasiewicz to the post of Group Chief Executive Officer.

A smart building uses a combination of technologies to make buildings more responsive, sustainable, and productive for the people that work, learn, or live within these buildings. Due to smart building technologies, the demands that are produced within a building are growing and diversifying. On a portfolio level, we are talking about exponential growth! It’s impossible for any manager to decide “manually” on every issue.

On July 15th Vetasi ran a Maximo in FM webinar which provided an update on recent new Maximo developments and what that means for FM businesses. There were also some guest speakers from FLS and Cognito iQ with presentations on automated real-time scheduling and mobile workforce innovations.

If you missed out and would like to hear a recording of the webinar or register for future Maximo in FM webinars, contact sarah.armstrong@vetasil.com.

Planon announces a partnership with Vetasi Poland, to expand its reach in Eastern European markets.

We know that offline digital inspections are a requirement for so many organisations and we’re pleased to be working with Interloc to bring their latest Inspections App from the Mobile-informer suite to Europe.

The platform, installed as a native Maximo Application, can be implemented remotely and very quickly. Mobile Informer delivers all Maximo Inspections functionality, and more, to a mobile device where it is clear and intuitive. Users never have to consider whether they are connected or not. As long as you are on Maximo 7.6.0.9 or later, you can start creating Inspections.

Vetasi Poland and Interloc Solutions (Interloc) announces the successful deployment of Mobile Informer for PKP Energetyka S.A (PKPE). PKPE had a need for a mobile work management solution that would allow their staff to perform remote work, and track their efforts within the IBM Maximo Enterprise Asset Management system. After evaluating other mobile solutions and approaches, PKPE selected Mobile Informer based on its superior reliability, flexibility, and ability to deliver the full range of Maximo functionality to mobile users.

The Eastern European market, within the reach of the Ukrainian market, is a key element of Vetasi CEE’s strategic development. This was recently reinforced with our new Vetasi UA office opening, headquartered in Kiev. In order to realize our vision of effective economic and cultural collaboration, Vetasi CEE has joined the Polish-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce.
