Nine Reasons Why Facilities Managers are Ditching Spreadsheets for CMMS

The way companies conduct business has changed dramatically over recent years. Computer technology is largely responsible for increased business efficiency regarding resource, material and timing savings. In the late 1970’s, spreadsheet software emerged and was considered a monumental improvement over traditional pencil and paper approach to accounting and inventory management. However, overtime these software packages have had difficulty keeping pace with the continued evolution of new technologies that have not only changed facility management and production processes but also transformed how companies communicate with and deliver its products and services to end users. Given these factors and how they specifically relate to facility management, it is not surprising that a growing number of companies across industry sectors are rethinking their use of spreadsheets and are turning toward Computerized Maintenance Management Software (CMMS) systems; highly sophisticated software packages which at any given time, can provide a user an overview of a facility’s operation or they can provide the status of an individual piece of equipment.
