Warmly welcome the new Siveco members, the cute babies of our colleagues, born in the year of the horse! With the four babies, we will have enough kids able to enjoy a real Christmas party for the Siveco families next year.

I hope you are doing well during this busy period. While I was in Seoul, South Korea, where Siveco sees growing activities in the infrastructure market (more on this in a future newsletter), my team launched the most aggressive part of the 10 Years Anniversary Roadshow, taking part in multiple events focused on sustainability, energy savings, eco-cities, etc.

Maybe you already contacted our support team and had the pleasure to be served by Mirley, Sophia, Sunny or more recently Peter, who joined the team few months ago. But how much do the readers of “Maintenance in China” know about the daily life of our Customer Support team?

This case study, written before the acquisition of Nokia by Microsoft, represents a great example of optimizing maintenance costs in tough economic times. Siveco’s first encounter with Nokia was during the company’s heydays, when the LEED Gold certified Nokia Beijing campus was the center of attention in the Facilities Management community.

Siveco China has been selected to provide maintenance consulting services and to setup the bluebee® facilities management solution for a major public buildings rehabilitation program in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province.

This article features the Standard Reports Library of our CMMS Coswin, an optional package which can be purchased and used immediately. The development of these standard reports derived from International Standard for Maintenance (EN 15341 – Maintenance – Maintenance Key Performance Indicators) combined with Siveco consultants’ experience in the past 30 years.
