CHANGING THE MINDSET OF OUR INDUSTRY |
| Changing the mindset of our industry - advertising turnaround and maintenance software subscription prices! Would you buy an iPhone if Apple didn't tell you the price? Would you buy maintenance or turnaround software from a website where the software vendor doesn’t list their price? Have you ever asked “why do they not tell me the price?” We have! This is why we decided to disrupt the industry by using three simple principles: - Openly displaying the subscription price of our Maintenance & Turnaround, plus our other safety software solutions on our website
- Not making up prices based on what we think you can afford - the price is the same for everyone
- Offering more capable products, better support, and better value than our competitors
These principles enable all of our industrial customers to have the same product & service, at a fair and equal cost to all, building a foundation of trust with our clients from day one. This is why the likes of Shell, INEOS, Altrad, Sadara, CF Industries, and many others have chosen IAMTech as their success partner. Find out more or book a discovery call with us today... |

Given the large scale and complexity of projects, as well as constraints in resources such as time and budget, the challenge is to identify the perfect combination of projects that can fetch highest returns. Project selection and prioritization are all about having a game plan that accounts for both capacity and strategy. Let’s take a look at the benefits that companies stand to gain when these are balanced right. |
