CMMS Software Selection Made Easy!
Perspective CMMS is an independent CMMS consultancy where you can get free advice, CMMS comparisons and demos.
We assist Maintenance Managers and Supervisors and those responsible for maintenance management to find, compare and review CAFM and CMMS software and offer several low cost CMMS Software options to buy online. This website is a resource for you on all things CMMS but you can also click here for an example from our sister website.
We have found that most of our website visitors are in one of three groups, those who are actively seeking CMMS software, those who are seeking CMMS information and those who are seeking Maintenance Training Materials.
At Perspective CMMS we can help you to make the right decisions on what plant and planned maintenance software is best for your plant or facility. If you are involved in a CMMS implementation project contact us for advice and assistance with CMMS software selection, comparison review and evaluation.
We provide useful information on CAFM for Facilities Management and Computerized Maintenance Management Software, which is used to control equipment maintenance in manufacturing plants and commercial facilities.
CMMS Advice and How to Compare and Select Planned Maintenance Software Applications
We feature low cost CAFM/CMMS Systems for small and medium enterprises. We don't deal in Maximo CMMS, Datastream or other high cost enterprise applications.
If your CMMS implementation project requires you to carry out a formal CMMS comparison, review and specification we provide an excellent Computerized Maintenance Management Software Specification Kit. Our affiliated site provides information on EAM and ERP software requirements specification and reviewing.
Our Maintenance shop features Maintenance training and products from several vendors and maintenance sources. If you just need general information about CMMS and CAFM systems take our site tour. CMMS comparisons are available through online demos, which are available to download on request.
Note: The categorised menu system we have provided below should help you to find the CMMS selection information you require but please contact us if you have any questions on selecting your CMMS or CAFM software.
In the Asset Management market place, software system selection is a minefield. If you are looking for a maintenance system we can help you survey your planned maintenance software requirements and find the package that matches YOUR needs.
Featured Vendors
Are you a CMMS or CAFM vendor? Would you like to advertise on this website?
It's likely that we can also save you money in doing so. High cost systems like Maximo CMMS are fine for those who can afford them but lower cost applications are often more suitable than Maximo. However, the Computerized Maintenance Management Software and Asset Management software market place has been flooded with so many of these applications that making a choice is extremely difficult - more confusing than ever. We offer direction on this. We can also save you money on your CAFM and CMMS system costs by acting as your agent.
