Cloud-Based CMMS Software

Not sure if cloud-based or on-premise installation is best for your CMMS software needs? (Cloud-based software is also known as SaaS or Software-as-a-Service.)

SaaS hosting offers these benefits: Remove the IT burden, so you can focus on maintenance

operations Get easy cloud-based access from any device with network

access Rely on advanced data security Count on routine back-ups of your data Take advantage of cost-effective, flexible pricing

On-Premise/Local Installation

On-premise installation offers these benefits: Internet connectivity not required Proprietary information secured within your network One-time purchase; you own the software

Choosing a CMMS solution

How do I know if a cloud-based/SaaS solution is right for my company?

The following questions will help you identify key points to consider when choosing between a local on-premise installation or SaaS hosting of CMMS software.

Who Handles the IT Burden?

SaaS means the chore of maintaining software availability is no longer on you – or your IT department’s list.

SaaS hosting should include: 24/7 cloud-based access to your software and data Hassle-free software upgrades No more worry about system requirements Data security

Is my Data Routinely Backed-up?• How often is your data backed-up?• What is the SaaS provider’s disaster recovery procedure?• Where is your data physically stored?

How can I Access Software and Data?• Can you access the software and database from any

device, any time?• Can each user gain access with unique login credentials?• Does the SaaS provider manage login credentials?• Can individual and group CMMS program rights be

managed by an in-house administrator?

What About Data Security?• What are the physical security procedures?• What are the network security procedures?

What’s the Cost of SaaS?• What factors affect the monthly/annual cost?• Are there set-up fees to implement SaaS?• Is database storage capacity included? Is sufficient space

available?• Are software upgrades included in SaaS costs?

What Else Should I Know?• Who owns the data?• Is there a contract for SaaS services?• Are there discounts/price breaks for longer term

commitments?
