MRO Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: MROI), the leading provider
of asset and service management solutions, today announced that the
Clark County School District (CCSD) in Las Vegas, Nev., one of the
nation's largest districts, has gone live with Maximo Enterprise Suite
(MXES).
CCSD has completed the first phase of the MXES implementation. The
solution will be used to track, maintain and manage school facilities,
vehicles, inventory and supplies used to manage the 325 school
facilities contained in the district's approximately 8,000 square
miles. Later phases of the implementation will include bar-coding and
mobility applications. The MXES implementation will replace several
legacy systems, and is expected to become the principal work planning
and facilities asset management solution for CCSD, eventually managing
approximately 80,000 to 100,000 assets.
The MXES architecture enables the application to be hosted at one
central location while supporting the business processes and
information needs at geographically dispersed locations. Later phases
of the roll out will leverage the solution's architectural flexibility
to integrate MXES into the district's financial software system. The
new system, when complete, is expected to deliver more accurate and
timely cost information, eliminate duplicate data entry and facilitate
improved work order management. The team will use the solution to
increase facility uptime and reliability through a greater emphasis on
preventive maintenance.
"As one of the nation's fastest growing school districts, it's
imperative that we manage our existing and planned infrastructure in
the most efficient means possible," said Randy Shingleton, director of
maintenance, CCSD. "Our current plans call for the construction of
approximately a dozen schools each year to keep pace with this
region's growth. In order to stay ahead of this growth curve we
evaluated a number of solutions in the asset and service management
market and selected Maximo Enterprise Suite. We expect that when the
MXES project is completed, we will be able to streamline our work
processes, improve asset tracking and enhance budget accountability,
improve material processes, and reduce costs through standardization
on one software platform."
This recent go-live with CCSD is further evidence of MRO
Software's on going support for the public sector market. During the
past year the company has increased its commitment to the market by
merging its federal government group with its state and local groups
into a new public sector industry group. The company has added new
resources and software functionality aimed at helping federal, state
and local government agencies better manage their critical
infrastructure assets at a time of shrinking staffs and budgets.
In addition to providing industry expertise, the public sector
group is able to offer new capabilities and best practices tailored
for government agency applications. These include improved facilities
capabilities, improved mobile functionality, a geographic information
system (GIS) module that provides a spatial framework for managing
geographically dispersed assets, and an enhanced linear asset
management system that enables customers with assets such as railways,
roads and pipelines to improve their safety, reliability and
maintenance costs.
"We're pleased to be able to help Clark County better meet its
growth challenges and provide a quality learning environment for the
students, " said Mark Gruzin, vice president, public sector group, MRO
Software. "These agencies and entities are under increasing pressure
to improve labor efficiencies, and the performance of facilities,
fleets and other assets, all while satisfying new regulatory
requirements. Money spent maintaining roads, trains, buses, cars,
schools, utilities, government buildings, and information technology
represent significant taxpayer investments. Our customers have found
that our solutions can be effective in meeting these requirements. The
public sector group, in combination with our proven Maximo Enterprise
Suite solution can help this critical market to meet these goals."
Existing MRO Software customers in the public sector market have
recognized the benefits derived from Maximo implementations. The Los
Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) has tapped MRO Software's
public sector expertise to help it provide planning, engineering,
construction, maintenance and repair, and operations support for its
schools and other infrastructure assets. Other recent customers
include the City of Jacksonville, Georgia Department of Administrative
Services, Gwinnett County Public Schools, Lower Colorado River
Authority, McCarran International Airport, Orange County Public Works,
Sacramento Regional Wastewater, Sarasota County Government, Sandia
National Laboratory and the U.S. Air Force.
About Clark County School District
As the fifth-largest and one of the fastest-growing school
districts in the nation, the Clark County School District (CCSD)
expects to serve more than 300,000 students in the fall of 2006. For
the past 10 years, CCSD has welcomed approximately 12,000 new students
a year with no sign of slowing in the future. The projections made by
the district historically have been very accurate - predicting student
populations with an error rate of less than one percent.
CCSD has one of the most aggressive building programs anywhere in
the nation - building more schools (160) in the past 15 years than any
other school district in the country. In November 1998, county voters
approved $3.5 billion in funding for a 10-year building program. With
these funds, the district promised to build new schools, renovate
existing schools, acquire land for future school sites and provide two
new bus yards.
Schools built in the last decade have won Excellence in Design
awards from the American Institute of Architects Nevada, two Awards of
Excellence from the National School Board Association, the Monarch
Award (among others) from the Council for Educational Facility
Planners International, and the Learning Environment Award from the
National Supply and Equipment Association.
