Elevating Malaysian Asset Management with BPD Zenith's Expertise and IBM Maximo

The Malaysian Imperative for Advanced Asset Management

In its mission to provide top-tier community facilities, the Malaysian federal government faces the monumental task of managing property assets like office buildings, roads, and bridges. These assets symbolize the government's commitment to development, yet managing them is fraught with challenges such as rising maintenance costs, incompatible programs, underutilization, and user dissatisfaction. A pivotal study involving 67 respondents from ministries and technical departments highlighted five key management issues: the absence of dedicated property units, lack of expertise and strategies, inadequate procedures, and insufficient IT utilization (Abdullah et al., 2011).
