How to Dramatically Transform your IT Platform to Generate Efficiencies at your Mine Site
In this podcast with Mining IQ, Steve Hillyard, General Manager QLD, NT & PNG for Pronto Software talks about how miners can best leverage their IT platform to generate efficiencies across purchasing, productivity and maintenance operations at their mine sites.
To say that running a multi-million dollar mining operation is a challenge is perhaps an under-statement. In the current market conditions expansion plans are being put on hold, jobs are being reigned in and productivity improvements are a must. Mine owners everywhere need to make the most of their existing infrastructure and platforms to deliver efficiencies robustly, flexibly and simply.
Steve Hillyard joined Pronto Software in August 2004 as a Business Development Manager and became General Manager in 2009. Steve has extensive experience in Manufacturing, Maintenance Management and Supply Chain Inventory Management.
