In the sea of CMMS/EAM providers and solutions, finding the right one for your business or industry can be a challenging task, full of question marks. Many believe that it's all about the functionality and features that software provides, but in reality, it's much more than that!
Below you can find 8 key factors to consider when choosing Maintenance Management solution ⬇️
1. Business challenges |
2. Get user input |
 By identifying the problems which your organization faces, you will be able to better assess the available EAM solutions and map out those which do not serve your needs. |
 Listen to your staff first! If main users of solution do not utilize it properly, then you have done an unsuccessful investment. |
3. Vendor Support and Services |
4. What about mobility? |
 If you have a direct communication and continuous support with solution provider, you can be guaranteed the implementation will be smooth and solutions easy to use in the long run. |
 Since maintenance workers work mainly on the shop floor, a tablet or smartphone should be considered for their daily tasks and work order execution. |
5. Training |
6. Functionality |
 You should consider services such as access to educational resources, training, e-learning, video tutorials, white papers, installation guides etc., which the vendor can provide to you. |
 This probably seems obvious, however it is important to mention that you should be looking for the RIGHT features for your business, not the quantity of it. |
7. Value and Cost |
8. Scalability |
 The prices differ but the vendor should be able to give an estimate of licensing, implementation and other fees, so you can plan your budget and calculate the potential ROI. |
 As your business is growing, eventually the expectations for your EAM solution will increase too. The solution should be able to accommodate your needs, aligned to your company's growth. |
