System bites
May 1st 2008 Shire Systems launched Pirana,
its new browser-based
computerised maintenance
management system (CMMS) at
Maintec 2008. Pirana concentrates
on performance and ease of use at
a low price-point.
"The vast majority of engineers
just want a simple and easy-to-use
CMMS; they want the lightest,
race-ready sports car, not a
Chelsea Tractor with all the extras,"
explains Chris Lee, Shire
applications specialist. "Pirana is a
lean, mean tool with superb feel
and handling. There's not an
ounce of fat, just pure hard CMMS
muscle."
Pirana was born out of the wishlists
of maintenance practitioners.
Only the features they rate as vital
are included. "Maintenance
professionals have designed
Pirana themselves. Shire added its
software development expertise to
deliver the sleek and affordable
CMMS vehicle they craved," adds
Alex Thompson, Pirana project
manager. More articles from Shire Systems Ltd: |
