While CMMS software and EAM software both make it easy to schedule preventive maintenance and assign work orders, the main difference between the two is scope. EAM software includes expanded functionality to track more detailed information on assets throughout their life cycle. In addition to tracking maintenance data, you can record inspection details, monitor asset performance, calculate the total cost of ownership, and make data-driven decisions about whether to repair or replace assets.
A CMMS is focused on maintenance and maximizing reliability and uptime. An EAM looks at the entire life cycle to maximize productivity. Here’s an important point: When you get an EAM, it comes with all the features you’d get in a CMMS. But if you get an EAM when all you need is a CMMS, you end up slowing down your implementation and increasing your costs.
