    This course will go into detail regarding the importance of Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS.) We’ll discuss why use a CMMS and what features make a good CMMS. We will also discuss how to evaluate whether or not you are getting the most out of your system or if transitioning to a different system may be needed. We’ll conclude by reviewing some lessons learned in switching CMMS and discussing any questions you may have.
