Corey Dickens of Brightly Software recently joined CMMSradio to discuss AOMS (Asset Operations Management Software) as the next step beyond CMMS/EAM — and it’s got people talking.AOMS promises more than just tracking work orders. It’s about connecting maintenance, operations, reliability, and performance data into a single platform that drives real business outcomes.Key Points:Bigger Scope: Ties maintenance to production, safety, ESG, and finance.Shared Data: Gives everyone one version of the truth, in real time.Smarter Decisions: Leverages analytics + AI to guide priorities and optimize spend.Business-First: Focused on uptime, throughput, and profitability — not just maintenance KPIs.So, is this true progress — or just another acronym for us to learn? Let’s hear your take. 👇

We talk with Jennifer and Tacoma Zach of MentorAPM about asset management fundamentals, ISO 55000 alignment, and their sessions at SMRP (Oct 6–9, Fort Worth). They explain how a top-down, system-first approach helps teams prioritize the right work, optimize resources, and deliver business value. Tacoma shares a case where this approach led to same-day capital approval, showing how prioritization drives technical and cultural transformation.ISO 55000 focus – Aligning maintenance with business objectives.System-first thinking – Prioritize assets, not just tasks.Right work, right time – Optimize resources & reduce waste.Real-world win – Same-day capital approval through clear prioritization.Culture shift – From reactive maintenance to proactive asset management.https://mentorapm.com/

CMMSradio sits down with Mark Kingkade (Maintenance Expert & Consultant) with Waites to dig into what it really takes to transform maintenance beyond buzzwords and into business impact. We challenge the idea that technology alone can fix maintenance issues, stressing that leadership, discipline, and cultural alignment must come first.People & Process First! Tech is an amplifier, not a fix.Actionable measures like wrench time, PM compliance, and cost per unit.Maintenance Maturity: You can’t leapfrog steps — build stability first, then optimize.Without executive support, improvements won’t stick.True transformation sticks only if behaviors & expectations are clear and reinforced.The Real: Maintenance excellence isn’t a software upgrade — it’s a discipline, a culture, and a leadership commitment.
