Comma CMMS: the first class 1.5 Computerized Maintenance Management System

March 8, 2014 - PRLog -- comma CMMS, developed by the Hong Kong and Macau based company comma Ltd, is this first ever class 1.5 CMMS.

A class 1.5 CMMS is a low-cost web-based solution supported by a large user community that contributes with new features for the development of the software, reports bugs and provides beginner and advanced user support. The term was coined on the 2014 Feb/ Mar issue of “Uptime” magazine by Rui Alves, founder and CEO of comma Ltd.

The class 1.5 CMMS and comma CMMS in particular answers the needs of thousands of small to medium sized companies from a wide variety of industries for a powerful and feature-rich CMMS solution without the price tag usually associated with other existing solutions.

Small and medium sized companies can now make use of advanced computerized maintenance management tools at a fraction of the cost and sometimes even for free, depending on company size. We can now lower costs and pass on the savings to clients by sharing server space and computational power. Furthermore comma Ltd provides the tools (user forum) and pushes for the exchange of experiences between users, effectively moving from a company-provided support channel to user-to-user support which is cheaper but actually a lot better for customers:

“For a while we provided company support through our forums when we were building our user base. Sometime during that period, some users started to become very active and really solving problems for others. That resulted on faster, more targeted and more valuable recommendations creating an overall better user experience. We reward the most active users and they have been growing steadily creating a truly win-win arrangement for all”. Said Rui Alves on an email interview.

The user community also contributes for the development of functionalities, some of which see their way through to the production releases of the software.

“We like to think of comma CMMS as user-contributed software. We develop features that are requested by our customers and make them available to all. We end up with a great solution that does what people need it to do.”, Rui Alves added.

The free comma CMMS version is available at commacmms.com for anyone that would like to move on to the next level of CMMS utilization.
