Marc, thanks for another great post. I enjoyed browsing your presentation on bulding an AM framework around a CMMS. I think this is very important to address in any EAM/CMMS implementation and can often be a paradigm shift for those involved, especi…

Some have started projects during the past year and others are getting ready to move ahead. With that in mind, I have tried to focus the comments and articles featured here towards gaining the basic understanding of database design, documenting your… Continue

The website below provides some great information and you can check out your W… Continue

More information can be found on my profile on LinkedIn.com -http://www.linkedin.com/in/philcollinsatcbg. Today my primary focus is the executive search ar, CBG Search followed by further development of "strategically-focused" job boards such as MyWaterPlantJobs.com, SolidWasteJobs.com and a few more on the way. Thanks, Phil
