CMMS vs EAM 

What is the difference between CMMS vs EAM Software? Both systems have the goal of maximizing asset life and productivity along with cutting costs. Which type of software is the right choice for my maintenance operation? The answer is that it depends. If the primary goal is to manage costs and save money then a CMMS System is the best choice. A CMMS System can easily accomplish this by scheduling preventive maintenance and tracking expenses for equipment. Enterprise Asset Management Systems manage assets throughout their lifecycles including depreciation and heavy financial metrics. They are however, more costly as well as more challenging for the average maintenance user.

CMMS vs EAM Software: What does CMMS Do?

A Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) is software that tracks and facilitates all of the components of your maintenance operation. The goal of CMMS software is to save money and time by automating maintenance processes. Information needed is retained by the database for reference and is easily accessable to users.

The core of a CMMS Software is preventive maintenance. It is challenging to keep up with preventive maintenance for a large number of assets/equipment. The CMMS database stores all of the information on your equipment including each preventive maintenance task that must be completed and its frequency.

Preventive Maintenance Work Orders are automatically generated so that tasks are never forgotten. Equipment stays up and running. Time and money are saved.

What does EAM Software Do?

Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) is software that manages the entire lifecycle of a company’s assets. Lifecycle includes planning, procurement, operation and disposal of the asset.  The goal of EAM software is to maximize asset performance throughout the lifecycle. EAM Software typically integrates with finance and other areas of a company. CMMS is one component of EAM.
