How Can I Sell The Idea Of Web-based CMMS To Management?

The most effective sales pitch for web-based CMMS is the two-pronged knowledge is power/total cost of ownership angle.

Some may say ignorance is bliss. But when it comes to managing business-critical assets, knowledge is infinitely preferable. With up to the minute data on a spectrum of key issues, decision-makers can be assured they are acting on the best possible intelligence and ensuring optimum deployment of plant, equipment, facilities and human resources.

But this is just part of the story of web based CMMS. With an online solution to computerized maintenance management, the application is scalable and will grow more readily with you and your users than a desktop application.

The cost of ownership, therefore, should include the savings to be made in valuable and often scarce in-house IT resources. By taking the software management function outwith the organization, key IT and maintenance personnel can concentrate on their core business functions ~ which is what you're paying them for!
