Last month the State Department announced that no decision would come until after November's midterm elections.

How to Build a More Profitable Industrial Asset Management Function
The goal of industrial asset management, or IAM, is to maximize the value of a company's assets. An effective IAM solution can make the business more efficient, reduce downtime and improve service delivery. And yet, for many companies, the current IAM operating model just isn't cutting it.
