Date: 18 November 2026
Time: 10:10–10:45 AM
Location: Room Gorilla 5
Track: Smart EAM & Asset Data Intelligence

Organisations invest heavily in CMMS, EAM, and ERP solutions. But how closely does the information captured in these systems reflect what actually happens on the shop floor?

Drawing on 30 years of industry experience, Geert Gysel will share practical insights from real-world customer environments, highlighting the challenges that prevent organisations from achieving sustainable adoption and measurable ROI.

During this session, discover:

• Why CMMS/EAM data often differs from operational reality.
• How resistance to change impacts system adoption.
• Why adoption and ROI can decline after go-live.
• How reliable data, leadership, and change management drive long-term success.
• Practical best practices to improve maintenance performance.

A practical, experience-driven session for maintenance and asset management professionals looking to maximise the value of their CMMS/EAM investments.
