For managers of complex assets, RedEye accelerates the realisation of operational efficiencies by introducing technology such as digital twin, machine learning and analytics.

The partnership will provide access to new clients and extend the value RedEye offers to current clients using IBM Maximo.

"This new partnership enables Certus Digital to help organisations bring legacy systems of engineering drawings, spread over multiple locations and file types, together to improve engineering drawing and data management processes,”  said Michael Cahir, general manager for Certus Digital. 

“In turn our clients will benefit with better informed people, faster and better decision making and reduced safety risks.”
