Glad you asked!
Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) can go by many names.
Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), Computerized Maintenance Management
Information System (CMMIS), Integrated Information Management System (IIMS),
etc. However, all of these complicated names and lengthy acronyms represent a
system in which the basic functionality is to maintain a computer database of
information about an organization's maintenance operations.
CMMS software systems are intended to help
maintenance workers
complete daily tasks in a more effective and efficient manner. Further CMMS
software allow for
organizations to be proactive in maintaining the lifespan of their facilities,
equipment and assets with the use of preventative maintenance scheduling.
CMMS also improves employee retention and reduce turnover rate. Lastly
CMMS systems can assist an organization to verify regulatory compliance.
CMMS software systems can be either web-based or LAN Based. Web-based systems are hosted
by the supplier and usually do not need any involvement with the IT department
(we believe this is the best method), and LAN systems are hosted by the buyer on
their own server and requires a lot more work on the buyers part.
CMMS systems offer a wide variety of capabilities that usually always includes
work order management capabilities, resource and inventory tracking functions,
and reporting features.
