ATLANTA, GA—December 8, 2009—Turnpoint Solutions, LLC (Turnpoint), a leading provider of business and process driven IT consultancy services for asset intensive industries is expanding its service offerings to include the Active Technical Library Service (ATLiS) from Maintenance Partnership Systems Pty Ltd (MPS), an Australian based supply chain and maintenance management solution developer. Turnpoint will support delivery of the ATLiS service solutions with consulting and implementation services for customers across North America.
ATLiS is a comprehensive suite of deliverables aimed at cost reductions and efficiency improvements through better use and management of core technical information and ERP Master Data. Targeted towards operations with asset intensive plant and equipment, the system focuses on three main elements: improving the accuracy and reliability of key Master Data, leveraging more value from existing electronic technical content, and improving the accessibility and visibility of up to date, configuration-specific information from equipment suppliers. ATLiS eliminates manual effort from essential data creation and management tasks and improves access to accurate and reliable technical content for maintenance and procurement staff.
“In the relentless pursuit of lower operating costs, today’s asset intensive organizations are reevaluating every dollar they spend,” said Nick Ruddock, MPS Director. “The current approaches to managing critical data have not only been inefficient, they have created hidden costs and missed opportunities. ATLiS provides a low risk, cost effective approach to automate and outsource the management of technical content to improve productivity while lowering operating costs.”
Turnpoint Solutions delivers vertical-specific expertise in both business strategy and technology, helping customers achieve success through IT-enabled business process transformation. Its principal focus is on asset intensive industries and its portfolio includes customers from a broad range of companies, including some of the world's leading mining, utility and transportation organizations.
Turnpoint CEO Rick Higdon commented, “The expertise behind this product is unsurpassed and we’re excited to be collaborating with MPS to bring this innovative solution to the North American market. The ATLiS solution set enhances our core asset management expertise and allows Turnpoint to assist new and existing customers with richer, more powerful services that resolve many previously intractable or resource intensive problems. Customers can look forward to quicker outcomes with measurable results and improved ROI. We believe ATLiS will be a competitive advantage for our customers and for Turnpoint.”
