CMMS: choosing software

CMMS systems are designed and offered to potential buyers to help them manage their maintenance.

With hindsight, however, it's clear that a certain number of projects don't last, and others turn out to be bitter failures (money wasted, time wasted, disinterest and user fatigue...).

Choosing the right maintenance management software is a complex decision, and one that will affect the future of your company's maintenance organization.

In this section, we will attempt to analyze the criteria for making the "right" choice.

These criteria relate to three main areas of decision: the technical aspects of the software and its environment, but also its use, i.e. its ergonomics and its management of maintenance processes, and of course the financial aspect.
