Step-by-step guide to implementing CAFM systems successfully
CAFM implementation projects fail more often due to organisational factors than technical ones. A structured approach — from requirements analysis through data migration to user adoption — separates successful deployments from expensive disappointments.
FM Radar's 4 takeaways:
- Start with clear requirements: what problems must the system solve?
- Data migration from legacy systems is typically the most underestimated challenge
- User adoption requires training, champions and visible quick wins
- Plan for 6-12 months from selection to productive use in mid-sized organisations
