While working with a national FM company, Vetasi identified a new Maximo Scheduler use case, not previously seen by IBM. Vetasi has raised RFE 136694 to help IBM expand the capabilities of the scheduler for customers with complex scheduling needs.

This Request For Enhancement is the end result of a great deal of work between the client, Vetasi and direct with IBM development. When implemented this will increase the capabilities of this product for dealing with regionalised workforces and help extract even more value from the system when dealing with secondary crafts.
