Technicians used punch cards and IBM® mainframes to inform computerized records and track maintenance tasks. In the 1970s, punch cards gave way to checklists fed into CMMS systems by technicians at the end of their shifts.</p> <p>CMMS gained greater prevalence with smaller and mid-sized businesses in the 1980s and 1990s as computers became smaller, more affordable, more distributed and more connected. In the 1990s, CMMS began to share information across local area networks.</p> <p>The 2000s saw the emergence of intranets and web-based connectivity that expanded CMMS capabilities to a range of mobile devices, field applications and operational sites.</p> <p>The latest generation of CMMS is cloud-based and highly mobile.

The two share similar functions and objectives but are essentially different. To discern key differences between CMMS and EAM, it’s helpful to take a brief look at the <a href="https://www.ibm.com/blog/iot-history-cmms/">history of CMMS</a> and the <a href="https://www.ibm.com/blog/iot-asset-management-spectrum/">relationship between CMMS, EAM and asset performance management</a>.</p> <p>As CMMS evolved, it established a foundation for EAM. Essentially, EAM contains the functionality of CMMS,<a href="#citation3">³</a> and their functions can overlap. What EAM brings to CMMS—due in part to greater connectivity and information sharing—is the ability to span sites, foster collaboration across departments and provide deeper integration with other systems like enterprise resource planning.</p> <p>These capabilities give EAM systems a broader business context that considers the overall asset lifecycle and its impact on financial analysis, procurement, process management, risk and compliance, asset disposal and more. CMMS systems tend to focus on fixed asset availability and uptime by automating work orders and workflows, scheduling labor, managing materials and providing reports and audits about those tasks.</p> <p><a href="https://www.ibm.com/downloads/cas/BX0ERPWB" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Read: Understanding the impact and value of EAM </a></p> <div class="ibm-col-12-4 ibm-col-medium-12-12 "><h2 class="ibm-h2 ibm-padding-top-1 ibm-padding-bottom-0 ibm-textcolor-default">Why is uptime so important?</h2> </div> <p><br /> CMMS and EAM are essential because they make it easier and more efficient for maintenance managers and departments to meet their primary objective: reliable uptime.</p> <p>The longer businesses maintain and run assets and physical equipment, the greater the value they deliver. IBM blogger Sarah Dudley points out, “The longer we can keep a piece of equipment running without major repair, the more money we save in the long run.”<sup><a href="#citation2">2</a></sup></p> <p>Delivering uptime reliably means that businesses can accept and fulfill orders, meet customer demands, shape customer experiences and confidently make a range of asset-dependent decisions. IBM reports that a survey of asset managers found that 75% of managers cite system reliability as the main reason to invest in EAM.</p> </div> </dds-content-block-copy> </dds-content-block-simple> <div horizontal-ruler> <dds-hr></dds-hr> </div> </div> <div class="complex-narrative"> <dds-content-block-segmented data-autoid="dds-content-block-segmented" class="complex-narrative-container" no-image no-aside content-section-body> <div slot="heading"> <a data-title="What are the benefits of a CMMS?" name="What+are+the+benefits+of+a+CMMS%3F"></a> <dds-content-block-heading data-autoid="dds--content-block__heading" role="heading"> <a data-title="What are the benefits of a CMMS?" name="What+are+the+benefits+of+a+CMMS%3F"></a> What are the benefits of a CMMS? </dds-content-block-heading> </div> <dds-content-block-segmented-item> <dds-content-item-copy> <div class="cms-richtext " id="rich-text-5313b6c22c" data-dynamic-inner-content="description"> <p>The <a href="https://www.ibm.com/blog/iot-benefits-cmms/">benefits of CMMS</a> include:</p> <p><strong>Asset visibility</strong></p> <p>Centralized information in the CMMS database enables maintenance managers and teams to almost instantly access asset data. This data includes details such as asset purchase dates, maintenance records, frequency of breakdowns, parts used, efficiency ratings and more.</p> <p><strong>Workflow visibility</strong></p> <p>Technician and other roles can customize dashboards and visualizations to assess status and progress virtually in real-time. Maintenance teams can rapidly discover where an asset is, what it needs, who should work on it and when.</p> <p><strong>Automation</strong></p> <p>Automating tasks such as ordering parts, replenishing MRO inventory, scheduling shifts, compiling information for audits and other administrative duties helps save time, reduce errors and improve productivity. This approach allows teams to focus on maintenance tasks rather than administrative tasks. </p> <p><strong>Streamlined processes</strong></p> <p>All parties involved can view and track work orders. Teams can share details across mobile devices to coordinate work in the field with operational centers. Material and resource distribution and use can be prioritized and optimized.</p> <p><strong>Managing field workforces</strong></p> <p>Managing internal and external field workforces can be complex and costly. CMMS and EAM capabilities can unify and cost-effectively deploy internal teams and external partnerships. The latest EAM systems offer advances in connectivity, mobility, augmented reality and blockchain to transform operations in the field.</p> <p><strong>Preventive maintenance</strong></p> <p>CMMS data enables maintenance operations to move from a reactive to a proactive approach, enabling the development of an advanced <a href="https://www.ibm.com/blog/intelligent-asset-management-strategy-benefits/">asset maintenance strategy</a>. Data derived from daily activities, sensors, meters and other IoT instrumentation can deliver insights into processes and assets, inform preventive measures and trigger alerts before assets fail or underperform.</p> <p><strong>Consistency and knowledge transfer</strong></p> <p>CMMS can store documentation, repair manuals and media that capture maintenance procedures and link them to the relevant assets. This storage and management of information leads to consistent procedures and workmanship. It also ensures the preservation and transfer of this knowledge to new technicians, instead of losing it when employees leave.</p> <p><strong>Compliance management</strong></p> <p>Compliance audits can be disruptive to maintenance operations and asset-intensive businesses as a whole. CMMS data makes an audit exponentially easier by generating responses and reports tailored to an audit’s demands.</p> <p><strong>Health, safety and environment</strong></p> <p>In line with compliance management, CMMS and EAM offer central reporting for safety, health and environmental concerns. The objectives are to reduce risk and maintain a safe operating environment. CMMS and EAM can provide investigations to analyze recurring incidents or defects, incident and corrective action traceability, and process change management.</p> </div> </dds-content-item-copy> <dds-text-cta cta-type="local" icon-placement="right" href="https://www.ibm.com/topics/field-service-management" target="_self" aria-label="See how mobile EAM helps field service management" data-dynamic-properties="{"ctaUrl":"href"}" data-dynamic-inner-content="ctaLabel" slot="footer">See how mobile EAM helps field service management </dds-text-cta> </dds-content-block-segmented-item> <dds-content-block-segmented-item> <dds-content-group-heading> Considerations when selecting CMMS software </dds-content-group-heading> <dds-content-item-copy> <div class="cms-richtext " id="rich-text-d46b36ae6e" data-dynamic-inner-content="description"> <p>Selecting and implementing an effective CMMS requires consideration of functional and technological factors. Providers and adopters might use the terms CMMS and EAM interchangeably in this context, which is acceptable because of the overlap in their capabilities.</p> <p>One of the central functional considerations, <a href="https://www.ibm.com/account/reg/signup?formid=urx-39285" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">according to IT analyst IDC</a>, is handling increasing amounts of data: “As the number of data sources available to the asset manager continues to grow (such as sensors, spatial data and visual data), managing, merging and analyzing these pools of data at speed will be a tremendous challenge for EAM professionals over the next five years.”</p> <p>IDC also points out that aligning staffing and development resources with asset management can be critical: “The function is often under-resourced in terms of staffing, training and development. This under-resourcing erodes motivation and creates a counterproductive culture among the staff.”</p> <p>Finally, IDC states that modernizing CMMS and EAM functions is important and that “some organizations have yet to move past legacy systems and spreadsheets for critical EAM functions like repair order management, work scheduling and replace or repair decisions.”</p> </div> </dds-content-item-copy> <dds-text-cta cta-type="pdf" icon-placement="right" href="https://www.ibm.com/downloads/cas/OZJGZRD9" target="_blank" aria-label="Infographic: IBM Maximo helps optimize assets and operations (1.3 MB)" data-dynamic-properties="{"ctaUrl":"href"}" data-dynamic-inner-content="ctaLabel" slot="footer">Infographic: IBM Maximo helps optimize assets and operations </dds-text-cta> </dds-content-block-segmented-item> </dds-content-block-segmented> <div horizontal-ruler> <dds-hr></dds-hr> </div> </div> <div class="simple-narrative"> <dds-content-block-simple data-autoid="dds--content-block-simple" class=" " no-aside content-section-body> <div slot="heading"> <a data-title="The push to SaaS" name="The+push+to+SaaS"></a> <dds-content-block-heading data-autoid="dds--content-block__heading" role="heading"> <a data-title="The push to SaaS" name="The+push+to+SaaS"></a> The push to SaaS </dds-content-block-heading> </div> <dds-content-block-copy data-autoid="dds--content-block__copy" slot="copy" size="sm"> <div class="cms-richtext " id="rich-text-df4870fe40" data-dynamic-inner-content="description"> <p>CMMS and EAM platforms handle functional challenges in several ways. One of the key technological approaches is to deploy CMMS and EAM solutions hosted on the cloud as software as a service (SaaS).</p> <p>According to IBM, “When choosing asset management software, organizations are increasingly gravitating toward SaaS, a cloud-based delivery model in which software is hosted centrally by a vendor and available on demand.”</p> <p>SaaS, as a technology approach, addresses some prime functional factors:</p> <ul><li>Hosted in the cloud, SaaS CMMS offers the flexibility to expand and contract with data demands. Users benefit by paying just for the data resources that they need, rather than committing large initial investments. This approach ensures that there is capacity to handle the growing influx of data from IoT instrumentation, virtually eliminating hardware costs.</li><li>SaaS can help with staffing and resource challenges because it requires far less intervention and support from IT than on-premises deployments. CMMS engineers, CMMS administrators and technical teams in the field can manage the system largely on their own. This approach allows the conversion of capital expenses related to IT into operational expenses and resources.</li><li>Legacy systems, modernization and using the latest technologies to keep pace with maintenance and operational pressures are also areas where SaaS can help. Service providers make upgrades in the cloud and consistently apply the latest versions and functionality. Further, SaaS also integrates new technologies faster and with less risk.</li></ul> </div> </dds-content-block-copy> </dds-content-block-simple> <div horizontal-ruler> <dds-hr></dds-hr> </div> </div> <div class="offering-group"> <a data-title="IBM solutions" name="IBM+solutions"></a> <dds-content-block-horizontal border content-section-body> <dds-content-block-heading role="heading" aria-level="2" data-autoid="dds--content-block__heading" slot="heading"> IBM solutions </dds-content-block-heading> <div id="offering-group-items-container-867af5d99b" class="cmp-container"> <div class="offering-item"> <dds-content-item-horizontal> <dds-content-item-heading> Asset management </dds-content-item-heading> <dds-content-item-horizontal-copy> <caem-paragraph size="normal"> <div class="cms-richtext " id="rich-text-457bd14a0f" data-dynamic-inner-content="description"> <p>Manage and maintain high-level assets with IBM® Maximo® Application Suite by using AI and analytics to optimize performance, extend asset lifecycles and reduce operational downtime and costs.</p> </div> </caem-paragraph> </dds-content-item-horizontal-copy> <dds-link-list slot="footer" type="vertical"> <dds-link-list-item-cta aria-label="Explore asset management capabilities" cta-type="local" href="https://www.ibm.com/products/maximo/asset-management" icon-placement="right" role="listitem" target="_self"> Explore asset management capabilities </dds-link-list-item-cta> </dds-link-list> </dds-content-item-horizontal> </div> <div class="offering-item"> <dds-content-item-horizontal> <dds-content-item-heading> Mobile EAM </dds-content-item-heading> <dds-content-item-horizontal-copy> <caem-paragraph size="normal"> <div class="cms-richtext " id="rich-text-758c9cbf30" data-dynamic-inner-content="description"> <p>Empower the connected technician with intelligent mobile EAM to manage any asset, anytime, any place.</p> </div> </caem-paragraph> </dds-content-item-horizontal-copy> <dds-link-list slot="footer" type="vertical"> <dds-link-list-item-cta aria-label="Explore mobile EAM" cta-type="local" href="https://www.ibm.com/products/maximo/mobile-eam" icon-placement="right" role="listitem" target="_self"> Explore mobile EAM </dds-link-list-item-cta> </dds-link-list> </dds-content-item-horizontal> </div> <div class="offering-item"> <dds-content-item-horizontal> <dds-content-item-heading> Workplace safety </dds-content-item-heading> <dds-content-item-horizontal-copy> <caem-paragraph size="normal"> <div class="cms-richtext " id="rich-text-a1d262012c" data-dynamic-inner-content="description"> <p class="cmp-text__paragraph">Turn data into actionable insights to improve workplace safety.
