Corey Dickens of Brightly Software recently joined CMMSradio to discuss AOMS (Asset Operations Management Software) as the next step beyond CMMS/EAM — and it’s got people talking.AOMS promises more than just tracking work orders. It’s about connecting maintenance, operations, reliability, and performance data into a single platform that drives real business outcomes.Key Points:Bigger Scope: Ties maintenance to production, safety, ESG, and finance.Shared Data: Gives everyone one version of the truth, in real time.Smarter Decisions: Leverages analytics + AI to guide priorities and optimize spend.Business-First: Focused on uptime, throughput, and profitability — not just maintenance KPIs.So, is this true progress — or just another acronym for us to learn? Let’s hear your take. 👇

Tacoma shares a case where this approach led to same-day capital approval, showing how prioritization drives technical and cultural transformation.ISO 55000 focus – Aligning maintenance with business objectives.System-first thinking – Prioritize assets, not just tasks.Right work, right time – Optimize resources & reduce waste.Real-world win – Same-day capital approval through clear prioritization.Culture shift – From reactive maintenance to proactive asset management.https://mentorapm.com/
