News Corp Australia was operating four entirely separate asset management systems across its major production facilities with no data sharing, no cross-site visibility, and no ability to compare performance between locations. When the existing contracts came up for renewal, the cost to upgrade each system to the current release was significant, and the upgrade itself would do nothing to solve the visibility or usability problems the business had been living with.
The business needed a better answer: lower cost, better visibility, and a system their people would actually find easy to use.
MCGlobal demonstrated it could deliver all of the existing functionality and solve the problems the previous approach couldn’t at a significantly lower total cost than simply renewing and upgrading what was already in place.
Rather than running four separate systems, MCGlobal implemented a single hosted platform, centralised in News Corp Australia’s Sydney Data Hub and logically divided across the four major production facilities. Each site retained its own operational context while sharing common data, configuration, maintenance schedules, documentation, reports, and KPIs across the business.
MCGlobal’s implementation consultants delivered structured training that gave News Corp Australia’s internal team the knowledge and confidence to take ownership of the system themselves, managing the ongoing configuration and rollout to regional sites without continued reliance on external support. This self-sufficiency delivered further cost savings beyond the initial implementation.
“News Limited required a CMMS system that would allow us to better manage our maintenance on a national scale. We needed more flexibility and better access than our current system was providing.
MCGlobal Solutions’ cloud-based system gave us just that, and the results have been outstanding. Not only has it delivered significant cost benefits, but it has also allowed us to standardise the way we manage our assets and processes across the country.
Implementing the new system was incredibly easy and efficient, even at multiple production sites throughout Australia. The design, implementation and rollout were completed in less than two months. MCGlobal Solutions continues to exceed our expectations.”
