What should schools track in their CMMS platform

Schools, Colleges, and Universities have a lot to track when it comes to facilities and maintenance operations leaving the questions of "what should a school track in their CMMS platform?"  It is easy to jump on that with "everything" and it is kind of true.  The reality is we need a place to start that is not overwhelming but rather follows a building block approach.  In this episode we cover the basics but in a detailed way.  We want to keep it light but still get you off to a great start.

• It makes sense to track building, areas of each building, grounds, and other parts of your school or campus setting.
• Track your equipment assets - They're a critical part of your facilities.
• Preventive Maintenance - That's important.  Realize HUGE gains with a proper PM program in place.
• Don't forget your users and your vendors.  This might include your supply vendors.
• The process is different when starting with no system at all versus a lift and shift from an existing system.
• Get ready to dump all of those excel files, spreadsheets, emails, and post it notes.  It's time to roll out a CMMS platform and do it right.
• Hire a consultant if you need help with your CMMS project.
