Like first responders, operators at control rooms are facing some of the biggest challenges these days \u2013 maintaining an uninterrupted and safe operation of the controlled assets while avoiding the virus.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, control room supervisors and managers are also committed to providing support, guidance, and assistance to their organizations, staying close to their teams while considering all the precautions to ensure social distance and minimize the risk of contagion.<\/p>\n<p>Here is where collaboration tools become very strategic to support and manage their operations.<\/p>\n<p>The capability to share meaningful data related to events in real-time and be able to interact with their controllers remotely, maintaining full traceability and auditability of the information and instructions provided is becoming more and more critical under the current circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Operating assets and coordinating activities remotely, by e-mail or text message, has become a regular practice; however, in the event of an incident or accident, using all this information from disconnected sources can be time-consuming and lead to misinformed decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Collaboration tools allow organizations to share and organize data consistently and coherently, from posting and sharing critical event data to coordinating outages and MOCs (Management of Change). Furthermore, considering the sensitivity of this type of information, collaboration tools are also conceived to protect the data and control who has access to it.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.tory-tech.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Ilustracion-MaCRoM-as-Collaboration-tool_1.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Ilustracion-MaCRoM-as-Collaboration-tool_1&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; text_text_color=&#8221;#686868&#8243; min_height=&#8221;97px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, control rooms are operating on a more intense schedule, expanding their shifts, modifying rotation patterns, or dividing into subgroups of controllers. With all these new measures in place, it is even more critical now to enable team connectivity and allow them to share information with their supervisors and managers, who are usually working remotely. One of the main goals of any control room management application should be to facilitate such activities by maintaining a full record of comments, documents, and specific information that is being exchanged between the controllers and the supporting field personnel.<\/p>\n<p>Operating companies must keep in mind that CRM is more than a compliance guide to run your control room; it should also be used as a tool to facilitate the tasks of controllers and their interaction with the entire organization.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; min_height=&#8221;97px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;-5px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;10px||||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">For additional information about <strong>MaCRoM\u00ae<\/strong><\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, visit our <\/span><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tory-tech.com\/site\/macrom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MaCRoM<\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0page or contact us at\u00a0<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"><a href=\"mailto:info@tory-tech.com\">info@tory-tech.com<\/a><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"mailto:juan.torres@tory-tech.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How a collaborative CRM tool makes a difference in the Control Room The COVID-19 pandemic has put companies\u2019 workforce, as well as their IT infrastructures, to the test.
