Dear reader
Over the past few months we have been scrubbing up Pragma's brand identity! We now boast a crispier logo and more industry representation in our brand elements. As part of the whole improvement process, we invested in a brand new website and changed our PDF-format newsletter to an electronic newsletter.
We invite you to go and browse through our website, familiarise yourself with our full service offering and listen to Adriaan Scheeres speaking about his take on physical asset management in the current economic climate.
With all this excitement we are also proud to announce that our Cape Town office is moving from Durbanville to Bellville and will be operational as from the 2nd of November. Drop in for a cup of coffee if you are in the vicinity. Academy training will in future be presented here as well. In this first edition of our electronic newsletter, we take a look at Alan Tait's vision for SAAMA, our success in the recent BCTWF survey and what both Pragma Products and Pragma Africa are aiming at with their strategies. We welcome some new clients on board and announce the dates for next year's conference.
Enjoy the read and remember to visit our new website!
Yours in physical asset management,
Liza

Alan Tait
Alan Tait is the current President of the Southern African Asset Management Association. We asked him some questions on his vision for this important body.
Who is SAAMA and what does it stand for?
SAMA used to stand for Southern African Maintenance Association, but we are in the middle of a rebranding exercise to change it to Southern African Asset Management Association (SAAMA). This is due to the focus companies are placing on Asset Management versus just maintenance on its own.
SAAMA is essentially an association (Section 21, non-profit) whose objective it is to uplift the professional status of maintenance and asset management practitioners by raising the professional standards of maintenance and asset management in industry.
SAAMA comprises two bodies, i.e. a Council, which is selected at an annual AGM, and Members, who join either as individuals or as part of their company's corporate membership.
