Florian Globig (whose motto is: Maximum effectiveness through targeted teamwork) The story describes the true struggles with a CMMS (we are using SAP EAM). Your earlier graphic novels (I got all 6) were closer to real comics. This story is a bit more detailed, which I really liked.
CMMS- Friend or Foe is still fun to read and much to learn from.
