ITA Maintenance Software (CMMS) On Premise or Cloud: Which is the Better Choice?
When implementing a CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System), one of the first decisions to make is whether to choose an on-premise or a cloud-based solution.
Both options have benefits, but they differ greatly in cost, flexibility and long-term sustainability.
An on-premise CMMS is installed on the company’s own servers. While it offers full control over infrastructure, it also requires high upfront costs, dedicated IT support and manual updates. Backup and data security remain the company’s responsibility.
A cloud-based CMMS (SaaS – Software as a Service), on the other hand, is web-accessible and requires no installation.
The main advantages of a SaaS CMMS include:
- Access from anywhere, on any device, including mobile;
- Automatic updates without downtime;
- Lower upfront costs with flexible subscription models;
- Instant scalability, adapting to organizational growth;
- Easy integration with BIM, IoT and Digital Twin systems;
- Enhanced data security and backup managed by the provider.
For these reasons, more companies are moving toward cloud-based CMMS solutions, which are more agile, cost-effective and aligned with modern digital Facility Management strategies.
