About the Author

Paul Davison began hands-on in maintenance management as an operator and plant manager. He has supported and developed computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) since 1986. His experience in software applications began at San Antonio, Texas as an operations coordinator. Davison Software was established in 1991. Paul combined experience in maintenance and programming skill to develop the Davison Maintenance CMMS.

Support Organization and 3rd Party Software

Associates provide support when needed. Family members keep source code and programming methods. The web site is supported by Kevin Davison. As long as clients will pay for it, either Davison or assoiates can provide support. Methods for unlocking programs on a CPU will be available regardless of paid support.

Built-in reports are supported with R&R ReportWorks Lite, purchased from Liveware Publishing, Inc.

Network software for client/server approach is purchased and supported through Extended Systems, Inc.

Handheld software is powered by HanDBase Professional for Palm OS and the Image Plugin. Davison Software has a run-time license, so no key codes are required as the handheld software installs to a handheld device (PDA).

Goals

Our CMMS, PredictMate, and Shaft Alignment programs are intended for stand alone and local network usage. Data is updated to central corporate locations either by uploading backup data in ZIP files or by ODBC Replication to a reporting server. On-site training and implementation is rarely needed. Full documentation is provided with the software.

Enterprise versions of our CMMS and PredictMate will not replace the current programs. A DOS version of the programs from 1991 was later replaced about 2000 with the current Windows version. We update core libraries and 3rd party software continuously.

Contributors

We appreciate the many suggestions from users. Several maintenance professionals have contributed to this application. Predictive maintenance items are developed in cooperation with J.T. Wilcox, Wilcox Consulting, Inc.

Endorsements

“The East Bay Dischargers Authority (EBDA) has used Davison Maintenance software and it's previous DOS versions for our Maintenance Management System (MMS) needs since the 1980s. I have found the windows version to be user friendly… The software meets or exceeds all of our requirements for preventive maintenance scheduling and work order tracking. Mr. Davison has always provided timely and personal support as necessary. I would purchase this product again.”
