Common merger and acquisition challenges:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Different CMMS\/EAM\/ERP Systems and Data Standards<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

During a merger or acquisition, there are typically vast differences between the two company\u2019s CMMS data, which can be attributed to completely different CMMSs and differences in data maturity between the two organisations.

ABL\u2019s expertise in material management, material data and ability to develop an executable roadmap for implementation helps our clients achieve operational excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This leads to continued practices based on \u201cthis is the way we have always done things at X\u201d. Working with and understanding the pain points, concerns and overall ambitions of the people involved in day-to-day activities is critical for implementing meaningful and impactful change.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
