Set
to Take Aladon Reliability Practices to New Heights with Cooperation
of Network Members and Bentley Systems as Priority Technology Partner
to the Network
June 30, 2014 – Aladon and Bentley Systems,
Incorporated, the leading company dedicated to
providing comprehensive software solutions for sustaining
infrastructure, recently announced
that Marius Basson, a
long-time Reliability-centered Maintenance (RCM2) practitioner and
Aladon member, has acquired the Aladon business from Bentley. Bentley
Systems will remain a member of The Aladon Network and will continue
to be its priority technology partner.
The Aladon Network, which became part of Bentley through
the company’s acquisition of Ivara in 2012, is a global community
of reliability professionals whose members are certified by Aladon as
“practitioners” and “facilitators” in the delivery of RCM2,
as well as Maintenance Task Analysis (MTA2) and Asset Prioritization
(AP). Basson will lead the Aladon membership to further advance the
discipline of RCM2 and, in doing so, help make industrial operations
safer and more productive.
Commenting on the announcement Al Gray, Bentley vice
president, asset lifecycle information management sales and services,
said, “The Aladon Network, as a global authority on RCM2, requires
a dedicated and passionate expert to lead it. That’s why Bentley is
pleased to hand over the reins of Aladon to Marius Basson, a very
capable and highly talented reliability practitioner, accomplished
business executive, and natural leader whose steadfast commitment to
the Network will serve its members well, and help them achieve even
greater success.”
Basson was
previously vice president, asset management, at CH2M HILL, and also
served as director, reliability, at PricewaterhouseCoopers. He is a
qualified mechanical engineer and has worked in the field of
reliability and maintenance management for more than 20 years. Basson
has successfully implemented RCM2 in almost every industry, including
mining; transport; water, gas and electric utilities; fabrication;
manufacturing; and petrochemicals.
Basson said, “I look forward to collaborating with the
Network members to take the Aladon Reliability Practices to the next
level. With a worldwide presence and stellar reputation, the Network
is poised for exponential growth.”
