Migrate to a next-generation CMMS
There are many reasons for your decision to move to a new CMMS: cost reduction, optimization, technological evolution…
After all, solution selection remains a critical part of your digitalization strategy!
Why upgrade your maintenance software?
You have a perfectly operational CMMS that is perhaps a little outdated. It fulfills its role with a certain number of functionalities but no longer brings any added value to your organization. You are therefore considering choosing a new CMMS to save time and money and streamline your business processes.
You want to abandon paper and spreadsheets and instead equip your field teams with a smartphone or tablet to improve their operational performance. You may want to connect your CMMS to your ERP or another solution of your information system. If your current CMMS is holding you back on the following aspects, you need to ask yourself what is essential to the maintenance department and how a new software could help you.
Your old solution does not allow you to monitor performance indicators easily. Sometimes, you even have to call the IT department to obtain a tangible result. You know many areas of analysis are lacking as a result, and you want to have at least visibility into the main maintenance KPI. It is essential to choose a CMMS solution that will allow you to have the right indicators from a simple dashboard to make the right decisions at the right time.
Your old solution is too complicated to get used to, and this proves to be a real issue every time a new employee has to be trained. Over the years, your teams have given up on the old solution, and you can’t blame them.
A modern CMMS is user-centered and, therefore, intuitive and easy to use. The primary motivation for digitalizing maintenance is to gain efficiency! This is why the level to which your employees have adopted a new CMMS is critical.
Your team spends too much time entering information into the CMMS and constantly goes back and forth between their worksite and their computer to search for information. A latest-generation CMMS has many mobile functionalities accessible from a simple smartphone or tablet, such as creating a work request, consulting work orders, checking the availability of a spare part in stock, taking measurements, carrying out an inventory, etc. Your mobile application must be intuitive and straightforward to use.
Data security is becoming a major issue and concern for companies. Your current CMMS does not allow you to properly manage and control access rights. Therefore, it is imperative to evolve towards a new generation CMMS solution, whether Cloud-based or On-premise, to guarantee the protection of your data from all types of risks.
Your maintenance software should always make you much more efficient and not, on the contrary, waste your time. Don’t delay migrating to a new generation CMMS for too long. Instead, take the time to list your current and future needs and explore different applications accordingly.
