Putting the SaaS into CMMS/EAM Software
White Paper provided by eMaint

The Software as a Service (SaaS) model as part of the Web 2.0 revolution is considered a very attractive, viable and cost effective solution for delivery of business applications to businesses of all sizes. This has become more apparent in the delivery of computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), also known as Enterprise Asset Management (EAM), where increased internet availability to maintenance and facility management departments of organizations is occurring everywhere. To evaluate whether a SaaS solution is a good fit for your organization, it is helpful to understand what the SaaS model is and how it compares to traditional, premises-based CMMS solutions.

Maintenance Manager Boyd Helm brought over 25 years in maintenance management to Cardinal CG when he joined in 2008, where he found work orders and most maintenance management was done by word of mouth. Further, the division had not been profitable for the prior three years. Helm implemented a competitive CMMS in 2009 but experienced problems including: lack of flexibility, few customizable options, lack of provider support and significant additional costs.

Case Study provided by eMaint

In 2007, Cintas sought to implement a company-wide CMMS solution. Due to high upfront and recurring costs, the first CMMS selection was rejected by top management. James and a group of engineers saw the need for a standardized CMMS system. In 2011, James was tasked with launching a pilot CMMS program that could provide a centralized database of historical maintenance and associated costs, transparency into daily operations, standardized procedures for PMs and Work Orders and the ability to tailor the system to match their specific processes. eMaint delivered these requirements at a low total cost of ownership and was ultimately selected for the pilot program.
