Condition Monitoring online

I am not too sure when DLI engineering became Azima DLI, but it seems to have been a step in the right direction for them.

This press release  points to one of the things I am truly passionate about. That is moving the asset maintenance and reliability technologies onto the web. They talk here about their WATCHMAN™  product. An online condition monitoring solution.

But... I am not so sure that it is entirely unique, or that it is entirely a new thing. Bureau Veritas, the company that I work for by the way, also has an online condition monitoring solution . And one that has done very well in transforming the clients who use it and their use of information. Not insignificant in this discussion is that BV is a truly global giant of an engineering company. 

Regardless, I am keen to learn more about their product and might even give them a call. For me, any product that moves the delivery of reliability services from the old SAP-style solution to an online model is a good one.


eMaint are champions in this field and I think that the market is going to be calling for it more and more in the near future. Some research I did recently showed that the giants like oracle and SAP were suffering during these uncertain times while online providers of similar products were seeing extraordinary growth.

Why? Cheaper, quicker to implement, no updates and infrastructure is generally a browser. I like the model and I think it is only a matter of time before the industry begins to pass a tipping point in relation to this mode of software delivery.

I think this is worth posting on separately over the next week or so.
