by Brianna Crandall — February 12, 2014—TMA Systems, a leading provider of Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS), announced a partnership in January with international professional services provider ARAMARK that will enable clients and companies looking for high-level outsourced services to significantly benefit from the best of both companies’ core strengths. This will be accomplished through the integration of TMA software solutions and ARAMARK’s managed services, as well as through coordinated marketing, sales and services activities.
“At ARAMARK, we saw an opportunity to further improve on the real-time communication potential of CMMS by delivering solutions specifically designed for the unique needs of higher education. The result is a powerful partnership with TMA Systems, a pioneer in the CMMS industry,” said Matt Judge, Senior Director for ARAMARK Higher Education. “New technologies have changed the way facilities must be managed. A fully integrated CMMS, like WebTMA, can produce significant efficiencies, greater accountability and savings for our clients.”

WebTMA will work in a global, enterprise environment at approximately 1,400 locations supporting over 20,000 users and adding value to ARAMARK clients in the areas of work management, energy management, sustainability, and industry benchmark programs, says the company.
