USM Partners with Planalytics for a Web Seminar on the Science of Budgeting for Snow
Friday, 19 June 2009Norristown, PA —USM, a national leader in facilities maintenance and management, is partnering with Planalytics to hold a special webcast event about budgeting for snow removal and creating an actionable plan.
This webcast, titled Managing Storm-Dollars: A Best Practices Approach to Snow Removal Budgeting and Operations Planning Through Business Weather Intelligence will be held on Thursday, July 9th at 2:00pm Eastern.
“Winter weather, particularly snow, has a significant and material impact on our economy,” said Planalytics Chief Operations Officer, Scott Bernhardt. “However, the volatile, seemingly unpredictable nature of winter weather events often leads to confusion and frustration among those that are responsible for the costs and supervision of dealing with the aftermath.”
USM has teamed up with Planalytics to bring you this timely webinar focusing on industry best practices for science-based budgeting and operations planning. USM's Sean Hartnett, Certified Snow Professional (CSP), and Scott Bernhardt, Planalytics Chief Operations Officer, will discuss and demonstrate how the combination of cutting edge technology, Business Weather Intelligence, and a comprehensive snow/ice management plan can lead to improved budget predictability, lower costs, and an improved customer experience.
Facility Management Executives, Real Estate Executives, Procurement, Operations, and Finance will benefit by attending this one hour webcast. Attendees will learn how to apply today's Business Weather Intelligence to next year's snow/ice budget decisions; implement a standardized, best practices scope-of-work across the entire enterprise; apply the right pricing model (Event, Per Push, Seasonal, Hourly) based on the location of the facility, historical weather data, and long-range forecasts.
