MicroMain Introduces New Maintenance Alerts in Version 7.0
New Alerts, Contract Management, Visual Scheduling, and Reporting Options Included in Latest Version of MicroMain XM
(October 27, 2005) AUSTIN, TX — MicroMain Corporation, a leading provider of asset and facility management software and services, today announced the release of Version 7.0 of MicroMain XM™, its computerized maintenance management system (CMMS). MicroMain XM is also available as an enterprise asset management (EAM) system.
Major enhancements in the new version of the software—which enables organizations in virtually every industry to streamline their maintenance operations—include new features such as alerts, contract management, visual scheduling, and reporting options. Additional features include new maintenance priority assignments, a buildings feature, and batch processing options for work orders.
MicroMain v7.0 allows users to personalize the look-and-feel of the system to meet organizational or individual needs. With the new version, users have additional options for customizing the display of forms, saving sizing preferences, and storing pictures to optimize system performance.
With the new Alerts feature in Version 7.0, users receive color-coded alerts when urgent maintenance action is required. An automatic notification system monitors critical events, triggers an alert when action is needed, and allows users to immediately address any issues. Alerts occur for task scheduling, parts ordering, and new work orders created from remote sources.
All alert events and trigger conditions are determined by the user. A manufacturing plant, for example, can easily set an alert for preventive maintenance on critical equipment. A property manager can set an alert to respond to urgent tenant or resident work requests in order to maintain a superior level of customer service.
With MicroMain XM’s newcontract management feature, users are able to simplify record-keeping and easily track maintenance contract data such as costs and associated assets. Contractor invoices can be automatically allocated to multiple buildings, assets and accounts. Users also have more options for drag-and-drop scheduling. MicroMain’s new work order schedule includes a Microsoft Windows® Explorer-style tree view of work orders and due dates and a color-coded line graph for comparing daily work order and committed labor hour totals.
With Version 7.0’s new report filtering options, including single or multiple criteria selected by the user, customers can easily generate the specific types of reports they need for their organization. The software also includes 120 new standard reports, bringing the total number of reports to more than 600.
With the new maintenance priorities feature in MicroMain XM v7.0, users can define their own priorities and assign them to work orders, tasks, and projects to help define the urgency of the work to be performed. Using the new buildings feature, users can calculate building areas, track space allocation and utilities, store narrative histories, and capture other data specifically related to buildings. New batch processing work order filters allow maintenance supervisors to save significant time by limiting lists of work orders—by shop, for example, or individual labor—to the ones needed to issue or close.
“At our Users Conference this month, we received very positive responses to the new features and enhancements in MicroMain XM v7.0,” said Pat Conroy, President of MicroMain. “While users at the conference represented many different industries, from airports to sports stadiums to 100-building government complexes, they all recognize that this latest version will help make their work easier and their organizations more productive.”
MicroMain XM v7.0 continues MicroMain’s commitment to shipping software with the entire source code included, which is not standard practice for CMMS/EAM products in the market today. The source code, provided at no additional charge, gives customers complete control regarding customization.
The software is also available in the industry-specific MicroMain XM for Healthcare, which includes additional features such as risk assessment, JCAHO reports, and room and equipment usage histories based on patient IDs to meet the needs of healthcare facilities and biomedical departments.
