INITIAL RESISTANCE FROM THE TEAM
Change can be seen as a threat. At the same time,
employees want to excel and work with the most effective
tools. Easy-to-use programs, training and an emphasis on
the benefits are powerful incentives.
LACK OF MANAGEMENT SUPPORT
Prevent minor challenges from tempting employees to
fall back to old, familiar processes by advocating for the
new program and keeping the focus on the big-picture
efficiency and profitability advantages.
DEFICIENT TRAINING
Optimize your investment and minimize initial resistance by
going the extra mile and providing training at the outset.
POOR VENDOR SUPPORT
Pick a vendor that can back up its product with accessible,
expert resources. Software also evolves quickly. Make sure
your vendor is committed to continuous development and
has a core platform that can support it.
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR
Maintenance Management Programs present powerful advantages,
but any program is only as good as the ability of a company to
implement it and gain acceptance among employees. These are some
of the pitfalls that can threaten your success and the strategies you
can pursue to avoid them.

IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES
INTEGRATING DISPARATE SOLUTIONS
One comprehensive, maintenance-specific program is
preferable to the complexity and frustration of trying
to integrate niche applications. Unifying Maintenance
Management with the software elements used for
estimating, planning, scheduling and field tracking delivers
additional advantages.
