APM Consulting believes the reliability and ultimate success of any APM system are determined by three basic factors.

The first element of a successful APM system is a well-designed, quality product that will meet system demands. APM suppliers offer a variety of systems designed to meet specific needs. Care must be taken in selecting a product that will fulfill your requirements.

The second element of a successful APM system is a comprehensive and ongoing training program. All too often training is only considered during system start-up and forgotten during the operations and maintenance phase. This is a critical mistake.

The final item needed for a successful APM system is a well-developed operations and maintenance plan. Without a comprehensive maintenance plan in place, even the best-designed system will not perform as required over the long haul.

APM Consulting strives to ensure its clients understand these areas and helps them make certain they are present in their systems.
