The selection and implementation of new maintenance software can be relatively slow.
This is because, depending on the size of your organisation, many stakeholders need to be
involved. Since all these stakeholders usually have different, if not conflicting, requirements for the software, your first priority should be to identify these decision-makers and find out what their requirements and concerns are regarding the implementation of a new maintenance software.
Every company is different, but there are some commonalities that we have seen when it comes to selecting maintenance software. To make it easier to follow, we have broken down the process of selecting maintenance software into 7 steps and provide you with a specification sheet for your evaluation.

When evaluating different maintenance software providers, it is essential that you know what features are important to your business. It is important that you purchase a system that is complex enough to cover all the processes in your maintenance department, but simple enough to be adopted and used as the preferred maintenance software in your organisation. In our sample specification sheet, we have summarised the features and requirements that we have come across to help you evaluate what features to look for in maintenance software.

Stakeholders of the selection and implementation process:
Selecting and implementing usually requires getting a go from a variety of stakeholders. Stakeholders are the ones that will be affected by or work with the new software. Makes sure to involve them early into the decision-making process so that they won’t have objections later on:
