"Whatever your problem is, somebody has dealt with it already. FOMIS is my consulting firm on retainer, and it costs a lot less. The people who give responses to FOMIS have a wealth of knowledge, and they'll tell you even more if you call them. Each year we encourage our staff to use FOMIS more. I know I can ask questions and I'll get feedback."
Tom Cox, Operations Supervisor
Muscatine Power & Water
"FOMIS is an information networking service where sites, power stations, and people with common interests get to post questions on a weekly basis. As a result, all members of the FOMIS organization review those questions and the site contacts elicit experienced answers. FOMIS is not about reading text books, FOMIS is about people who have had a problem and want to tap into information from other people, with like experiences, to actually see how they've done it, how it works, didn't work, and what they are doing down the track."
Peter Wise, Plant Manager
Ecogen Energy's Newport Station
"Pulliam went into FOMIS on a one-year trial period. There were a few skeptics who felt the responses would be too general. Since joining, we've asked about six questions, and the responses have helped resolve some operating and maintenance issues at Pulliam. I think several people at the plant are starting to see the value of FOMIS."
Terry Jensky, Plant Manager
Pulliam Station, Wisconsin Public Service
