MyBuildingSuccess.com has developed this tool to assist you in understanding the critical components of a CMMS solution and give you a score card to help you in your decision making processes as you establish an integrated building management program.
Selecting a CMMS solution is complex and there are many, many vendors who provide this type of solution. You may be familiar with terms like FM system, CMMS, and many more. From a high level, many systems appear to do the same thing - help manage your facility, reduce costs, and increase profits. As you go through the review and selection process, more and more of the details at the core of each product will begin to show very different features & functionalities, levels of professional services, implementation support, and much more. How all of this works to integrate your workflows and processes is critical to the success of your building management program.
Most organizations have a number of processes and systems already in place to manage the tactical, every day functions in their organization. For example, the engineering team might use a paper based work order request system while the tenant coordinator manages hundreds of certificate of insurance documents. If a tenant requests service for an HVAC issue engineering might call in a vendor and, under the old tactical system, the vendor may show up and is denied access because their COI has expired. Or, conversely, security grants access to the vendor because security was not aware of the COI issue and an incident occurred - and the vendor did not have insurance.
The example above describes an organization that has islands of information that are not connected and, as you can see in the example above, there can be significant consequences to not having the right system for your organization. Selecting the right system can have a tremendous positive impact on your tenant relations, green initiative, preventive maintenance, marketing efforts, and much more.
We hope this tool helps you find the right system for your organization that bridges the islands of information you currently have into an integrated system that positively impacts your bottom line, improves your workflow, and delivers a significant strategic advantage in the marketplace.
