Specifying a new computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) or upgrading an existing CMMS is among the most complex tasks maintenance and engineering managers can undertake. To the extent the application fails or succeeds, it will affect the efficiency of the department, as well as the efficiency of all of the other software elsewhere in the organization that interact with the CMMS. And that list of software is growing every day.
With the growing popularity of web-based applications in recent years, managers also now have an even greater range of applications to choose from, as well as the added capability that web-based applications can bring to an organization.
This CMMS Directory offers managers the chance to better understand the range of options, compare available CMMS applications, and locate an application that meets the needs of the technicians, the department and the organization.
