It’s Christmas time again! Thank you for your support this year! Despite the continuing impact of Covid-19 on travel in parts of China and in other countries, we did not spare efforts to address our customers’ needs.

Occasionally someone asks us: what does Siveco China really do? Some people call us for all their maintenance-related questions. Others insist we must do software only. Others will compare us to diversified IT giants and think that we are very tiny… Our business is of course bit complex! Our team has employed a “5W1H” methodology to try to explain what we do

During the Labor Day holidays, old friends met together, my old colleagues who have been engaged in researching and delivering Asset & Maintenance Management solutions since the late 1990s. They have taken part in many projects in the power, chemical, paper and environmental industries. During our gathering, we talked a lot. I have summarized here the hottest issues.

I am writing this editorial from the Three Gorges Dam, visiting as a simple tourist, 20 years after having implemented the maintenance management system there! I feel greatly privileged to have come to China at the right time to build the teams that delivered so many first-ever (and other superlatives) CMMS/EAM projects! Even before Three Gorges, we worked on Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant (phase 1 followed by the others), Shanghai Metro (line 2 had just opened!) and many more.

Welcome to the Year of the Ox! Our mascots, bluebee® girl and her lovely bluebee, put on ox costumes to celebrate this important festival and to share their happiness with us. We are happy to say goodbye to the year of the Rat, challenging yet fruitful, to salute the Ox! On behalf of the Siveco team, I wish you and yours a happy and bullish Year of the Ox! May this new year bring you and your families good health and safety first of all, as well as happiness and prosperity! Happy New Year!

Christmas time has come again! In these uncertain times, we at Siveco remains more committed than ever to our customers and to the Chinese market. Last month, we held our 2020 customer conference in Kunshan. During the event, we officially released the new version of our bluebee® product suite, code-named bluebee® X. Our number of customers has increased, with now over 1,000 client sites. Our team has grown as well, in number and in age! That said, it is now time to take a little break and relax, for Christmas and the New Year.
