However, to ensure CMMS success, also consider five other costs\u2026 Startup training Integration services Data migration from legacy systems Hosting Maintenance\/support agreements To create a realistic budget, next consider the right pricing model for your organization. Choose a Pricing Model Any CMMS budget should also include one of two ways to purchase\u00a0CMMS software\u2014Software as a Service (SaaS) or licensed purchase. SaaS If you choose subscription pricing via SaaS, you\u2019re renting the software for a monthly or yearly fee. SaaS is a common option today\u2014but it may not be the best one for you. Advantages of SaaS Easier on cash flow up front and over the first 2-3 years May be able to purchase it without a formal procurement process (i.e., you\u2019re just signing up for a service) You can try the product and the vendor without fully committing Disadvantages of SaaS Higher total cost over the long term Vulnerability to price increases You never own the software Stop paying and you lose access Licensed Purchase The other option is a licensed purchase, where you purchase\u00a0a license to use the software (in practical terms, forever) for a one-time fee. Typically, you will also have the option of purchasing or renewing a yearly maintenance agreement that includes software updates, tech support, hosting services, and access to training. It\u2019s usually charged as a percentage of the software\u2019s original price. Advantages of Licensed Purchase Less expensive over the long run than the never-ending subscription. Usually it\u2019s a 2-3 year break even vs. SaaS pricing. You own it. If your company\u2019s budget gets tight one year and you don\u2019t get your yearly allotment, you will still be able to use your software because you own the software license. Disadvantage of Licensed Purchase Higher upfront cost If you\u2019re leaning toward SaaS model, ask vendors if you can switch to a license purchase model if your situation changes. Also, make sure the method you choose works with your plans to host the application. Price-Range Estimates Once you\u2019ve chosen the right pricing model for you, start by asking sales reps to provide price-range estimates that include training, integration, data migration, hosting, and maintenance\/support. The more specific you are about your needs, the more accurate those estimates will be. [related-content] These price range estimates will tell you if their product is a good fit. Then you can move forward with the companies who sell software in your budget range. You can ask a sales rep to refine the pricing as you get more specific about your needs.
