Start with an application audit

Auditing is a cornerstone for other application services and for the life-cycle planning of applications. It includes preliminary onsite work, an audit of applications and systems, user interviews and a written report with a proposed action plan. Our experts evaluate the influence of possible changes in measurement systems, environmental permits and process conditions of the applications. Improvement and development needs of the user interface, reports and displays are reviewed. Training needs of different user groups are evaluated. A life-cycle plan of applications is performed as part of the first audit and updated after every audit. This ensures a cost-efficient and systematic approach for upcoming maintenance and updating actions.

Application support services include DNAdiary for communicating and managing the service request. A nominated contact person helps in problem situations and ensures that proper expertise is found from Metso’s organization. Reporting and analyzing services are available, if external resources are needed.
