What is an Asset?
Colby Manwaring joined MentorAPM as Chairman of the Board. Mr. Manwaring was CEO of Innovyze, (where Mr. Totman worked) and sold the company to Autodesk last year. Upon fulfillment of obligations with Autodesk, Mr. Manwaring immediately joined ALN Member Organization MentorAPM, which provides software for connecting assets, workforce, and data to transform organizational operations and outcomes. This combined with the recent announcement of strategic investor funding for MentorAPM strongly positions Asset Management as an achievable approach to operations for utilities and all organizations.

AI Perspectives
Last week, the Washington Post hosted a series of discussions on “The Rise of AI” that included Senator Charles E. Schumer (D-NY). This week, the Biden Administration issued an Executive Order on AI. It’s not really an “idea” to keep up on Artificial Intelligence, it’s a business necessity. Look to the ALN for more practical demonstrations of using AI in your operations in coming months.
