TRM Steps Up Recruiting and Adds Bonus Program for IBM Maximo Certifications

    ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 16 /EMWNews/ -- Since IBM's

acquisition of MRO Software in 2006 and with the newly released upgrades of

IBM Maximo(R) Asset Management (their market leading Enterprise Asset

Management software), the market demand for Maximo implementation services

has skyrocketed. As one of the leading Maximo consulting firms and in

response to this market demand for Maximo services, Total Resource

Management, Inc. (TRM) (http://www.trmnet.com ) has increased recruiting

and instituted a bonus payment plan for Maximo certifications.



    "We've seen our customer base for Maximo services more than double over

the past year and our reputation for hiring the best precedes any

engagement," commented Garner Bennett, president of TRM. TRM consultants

have always taken the initiative to stay current on their Maximo, ITIL

framework and Project Management Professional (PMP) certifications to

ensure that the best possible implementation project is delivered to

clients. TRM has recently established bonus payments for all of these

certifications and many other technical certifications and has even paid

retroactively. "We pride ourselves on a performance-based culture and

rewarding our employees for taking the time outside of their current

project schedule to get certified is part of that. TRM is an organization

that supports employees in building their professional careers," said

Bennett. Nearly 100% of TRM's senior consultants have their PMP and Maximo

certifications and 30% of all billable TRM employees are certified.



    TRM's method of growing is to hire one senior, deeply experienced

consultant to two junior-level specialists to created balanced project

teams that can deliver projects on time and within budget. The bonus plan

for certifications, in addition to our tuition reimbursement benefit,

enables new junior employees to dramatically increase their skills and

expand their career. "Over the past fifteen years, we've seen that it's

common for an inexperienced employee to go through the TRM process of

on-the-job training, mentoring and education to become a senior level

consultant within a few short years - enabling career growth that few could

have imagined," commented Don Omura, Chief Operations Officer. TRM is

actively seeking talented Maximo consultants and those that want to learn

the EAM (Enterprise Asset Management) practice.
