If you’re looking to implement a computerized maintenance management system (CMMS<\/a>), one of the first questions you should ask is, how many people should be using the software? It would be great if there were a simple answer, but unfortunately, there isn’t. In this article, you\u2019ll learn the key considerations for determining how many users you should have in your CMMS based on your unique situation.<\/p>\n

The big question: How many CMMS users should you have?<\/h2>\n

The answer to this question depends on the size of your organization and how many people are using the maintenance software. If your company has fewer than 20 employees, a basic CMMS is likely sufficient for your needs. However, upgrading to an enterprise-grade solution may be necessary if you have more than 50 employees in a single location or multiple locations who need access to the same data at once (for example, field workers).<\/p>\n

There are some questions you can ask to evaluate whether or not you need more CMMS users for your company. Ask yourself these questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How often will the employee use the CMMS daily?<\/li>\n
  2. How will using the CMMS benefit the employees’ day-to-day tasks?<\/li>\n
  3. Does the employee need to access data from the CMMS regularly?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The answer to these questions will help you determine whether to include the employee in question on your CMMS.<\/p>\n

    What are the advantages of having fewer CMMS users?<\/h2>\n

    There are several advantages to limiting the number of people with access to your CMMS. It’s easier to manage, works better for small businesses, and is less expensive. If you’re just starting out or if your business is small, having fewer users will make it easier for everyone in the company to get up to speed quickly because there won’t be as much data generated by each person using the system. In addition, training new employees can be done more efficiently since they will have less data at their fingertips when they first start using the software.<\/p>\n
