I found a thread from 2009 so instead of reviving it, figure I start a new one.
Needing something more modern than the MP2 this place has been using since dinosaurs roamed the earth (I haven't really looked into MP2. There's only one person here that's trained on the system and their knowledge is minimal since they were taught from a person that was retiring. So far, I'm not impressed with the software). We only have MP2 on one computer that's running something like Windows XP since the software won't work on a modern OS and the software company apparently want's something astronomical to update our platform.
Last place I worked used Maximo which was fairly good. I guess we tried looking into a cloud based system for this place but I know that's a treacherous path. They lure you in the affordable prices then jack up the subscription down the road leaving you vulnerable since all of your info is on their system. Therefore, I'm looking for something not subscription based and able to load on numerous computers.
Needing to do the usual:
Create and manage workorders with the ability to update/modify, add pictures, follow-ups, etc.
Schedule routine PM workorders: machines, facilities, etc.
Ability to filter and print WO's based on machines. Helps with end of year planning/budgeting on which of our crappiest machines are costing us the most money.
Anything else to bring us into the 21st century.
