The answer will depend on your needs. Cloud CMMS vs. Local CMMS Cloud CMMS software (sometimes called web-based CMMS software) is hosted by the vendor and accessible via any device with an Internet connection. Local installation (sometimes called on-premise or client-server software), however, requires your organization to host the software on its server and use its own network and hardware. Five Questions to Answer So, which one is right for you? Here\u2019s five questions to answer. How much IT support do I have? Some organizations have extensive IT support options, but many do not. If you have an internal IT department, work with them to find the right option for your network. If you don\u2019t, cloud CMMS software runs on external servers, so you don\u2019t need IT support. Cloud CMMS also automates software updates, so you don&#8217;t have to worry about it. Do my users need to access the software via mobile devices? Mobile technology is a natural fit for the maintenance industry. Cloud CMMS enables maintainers to access data anytime and anywhere with Internet-enabled devices. However, whichever you choose, make sure it has an \u201cany device\u201d user interface that works on laptops, smartphones, or tablets. What\u2019s the plan for data security and back-up? Your organization may already have a data security and back-up plan if you have an internal IT department with those skills.
