With limited resources, aging buildings and an oftentimes large and diverse set of facilities, public sector facilities professionals are under pressure to do more with less. They are tasked with staying on top of preventive maintenance needs, handling emergency repairs, extending asset lifespans, keeping detailed records for data analysis and compliance needs and controlling costs under increasingly tight budget constraints. 

In addition, those in government or non-profit organizations must be fully transparent and accountable in how they address their maintenance issues. Maintenance teams adhere to strict budgetary requirements while demonstrating that work is being properly tracked, completed and billed. Consequently, they are searching for better controls over the many systems, processes and procedures currently in place.  

Implementing a CMMS or asset management solution can not only streamline maintenance operations and maximize equipment life, but also aid in demonstrating compliance with changing policies, laws and regulations. CMMS software unifies maintenance data into one centralized, scalable, easy-to-use system with robust reporting and work order management to help public sector professionals gain visibility into the asset lifecycle, meet compliance and safety goals, justify investment in staff and better demonstrate costs to key budget stakeholders – thereby ultimately benefitting the taxpayers they serve.
