What is Risk Management?

By: R. Keith Mobley

Will ISO 55000 solve SA’s service delivery issues?

Johannesburg, South Africa - “The current state of our physical infrastructure assets has a direct effect on service delivery to the nation,” says Alan Tait, Managing Director of Pragma Africa.

Mobile Video Collaboration System Securely Connects Field Staff and Experts

Winnipeg, MB - Time is money.  And it’s never been truer for companies with operations spread across the globe.  Equipment downtime, lost production, delays in product reviews and high travel costs to troubleshoot problems can kill the bottom line.  If the best engineer is located in New York and the assembly line is in the Far East or the oil rig is off the coast of Mexico, costs mount quickly when decisions are delayed.  Typically, the expert (or a whole team of experts) would board a plane to go and try to solve the problem, causing further delays and incurring expensive travel costs.  With mobile collaboration, no one leaves their desk, let alone the country.
