 <title>Servlient Facilities Management - Facilities Maintenance Management - News</title>
 <link>http://facilities-maintenance.servlient.com/news/feed</link>
 <description>In business, facility management is the management of buildings and services. The services are sometimes considered to be divided into &quot;hard services&quot; and &quot;soft services.&quot; Hard services includes such things as ensuring that a building&#039;s air conditioning is operating efficiently, reliably, safely and legally. Soft services includes such things as ensuring that the building is cleaned properly and regularly or monitoring the performance of contractors (e.g. builders, electricians). The term &quot;facility management&quot; is similar to &quot;property management&quot; but often applied only to larger and/or commercial properties where the management and operation is more complex. Some or all of these aspects can be maintained by data-rich computer programs.</description>

 <title>ARC Advisory Group’S First Annual Asset Lifecycle Management Forum</title>
 <link>http://facilities-maintenance.servlient.com/arc-advisory-group-s-first-annual-asset-lifecycle-management-forum</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;ARC Advisory Group will host its first annual Asset Lifecycle Management (ALM) Forum, October 6-8, 2008 in Houston, TX.  This event will bring together stakeholders and suppliers to discuss how better Asset Information Management (AIM) can help them optimize performance in every asset lifecycle stage.  Companies will learn how AIM impacts asset performance while networking with others to discuss common issues. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;ALM is high on the agenda of executives in manufacturing, utilities, and every other enterprise where success depends upon complex equipment. These executives must worry about capital budget overruns and start-up delays that can turn excellent market opportunities into major calamities. They are also concerned with revenue, safety, compliance, quality, and operating cost problems that arise when performance in operating plants is not optimized.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Meridium Debuts Mobile Inspection Management for SAP</title>
 <link>http://facilities-maintenance.servlient.com/meridium-debuts-mobile-inspection-management-for-sap</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;[9/18/2007]&lt;br /&gt;
Roanoke, Virginia, USA – Meridium Inc., the leader in asset performance management (APM) software and consulting solutions, will announce its newest solution for the SAP® marketplace: Meridium Mobile Inspection Management for SAP®, at the SAP/ASUG &lt;a href=&quot;http://business-intelligence.servlient.com/data-warehouse/adaptive&quot;&gt;Adaptive&lt;/a&gt; Manufacturing Summit next week in San Francisco.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The surveillance of equipment condition is critical for ensuring the detection and prevention of equipment failures and the ensuing unplanned downtime. While analysts and engineers may be responsible for defining the overall strategy for equipment, operators, inspectors and technicians often have a better day-to-day understanding of physical equipment functions and conditions. In addition, operators are presented with the best opportunity to collect the data needed to assess the current condition of equipment. Therefore, ensuring that operators are monitoring critical equipment and capturing the appropriate data is fundamental to managing the reliability of equipment. &lt;/p&gt;
