Web-Based Maintenance Management Reduces Costs Of Digital Cinema.

SoftSols Group, a leading provider of maintenance management systems announces that its new product, Agility, has been adopted by digital cinema provider Arts Alliance Media, to help streamline operational processes and ensure the smooth running of its digital cinema distribution network Arts Alliance Media supplies, installs and integrates digital cinema equipment, as well as providing training and ongoing service and support for the installations

It has recently won a contract from the UK Film Council to install and manage digital cinema equipment in 240 cinema screens across the UK and has adopted the Agility product to manage the service and support operations of the system.

With two sub-contractors providing maintenance services, Arts Alliance Media required a web-based system for its contractors to log on to and receive up-to-date details of any maintenance work that needed to be performed.

Richard Phillips, Head of Technical Operations (Digital Cinema) of Arts Alliance Media explains: "It is critical that the digital cinema equipment is serviced and maintained in a timely and efficient manner".

"Agility helps to streamline this process as cinemas can log faults via our helpdesk, which are then prioritised and assigned to the relevant sub-contractor." With Agility, standard jobs are created easily, complete with a full description of the work to be done, resources required and scheduling information.

Work orders are created automatically ready for deployment to contractors or engineers.

Agility allows for total form customisation, enabling users to optimise the system to meet their particular business requirements.

Agility assists in efficient planning of resources and provides real-time access to schedules via the Internet/Intranet.

David Hipkin, Managing Director of SoftSols Group comments: "Businesses today want more flexibility at reduced cost".

"Mobile working and outsourcing are fuelling the need for web-based maintenance management systems that can be easily shared with third party suppliers and remote engineers, while helping to reduce operational overheads".

"Through Agility, Arts Alliance Media is able to achieve its goal of providing a highly reliable service to cinemas." Key features and Pricing:.
