Choosing a CMMS or EAM solution requires aligning software with business size, usability, cost, and modern capabilities. Companies range from Tier 1 enterprises needing complex, feature-rich EAM systems to Tier 3 small businesses suited for simpler CMMS tools, with Tier 2 in between. Usability is critical—software must be easy to implement, use, and support with proper training. Total cost should include licensing, integration, upgrades, and support.
