Customer problem

From manufacturing to installation and aftermarket service of complex equipment, poor information flow bleeds margin by reducing throughput and increasing customer downtime. Examples include $15 billion in lost revenue due to semiconductor equipment downtime, $5 billion spend on equipment maintenance in healthcare, $1 billion in lost revenue due to delays in regulatory reporting in airplane manufacturing. The high cost of failure, increasing regulatory burden, and challenging ROA environment increases the scope and severity of the issue.
