at the heart of safe, effective, and efficient management of a facility, therefore the migration of the maintenance, materials and integrity data to a single, common platform can be critical to the

class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>CMMS architecture<\/strong> (backend tables and functionality) is unique for each CMMS, creating obstacles for effective data migration\n<ul

class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lack of appreciation for the significant cleansing work<\/strong> that needs to be completed prior to migration\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For example,

are configured (e.g., work order generation processes)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Difficulties in coordination<\/strong> and

Incidents<\/strong><br><br>Increased exposure to safety integrity risks through loss of critical data (e.g., assurance tasks for safety critical elements) is a possibility.<br><br><strong>Lack of Control<\/strong><br><br>Loss of critical data can affect the reliability of the safety barriers and controls put in place, and thus the ability to make informed decisions can result in chronic unease and increased risk of potential incidents.<br><br><strong>Reduced Productivity<\/strong><br><br>Inability to use the CMMS functionality, affecting the efficiency and effectiveness of the maintenance program could result in reliability issues and an unmanageable maintenance backlog.<br><br><strong>Reliability Issues<\/strong><br><br>Architectural links being broken (e.g., maintenance not being applied correctly to the right equipment), incurring increased risk of breakdown and loss of production.<br><br><strong>Competency Issues<\/strong><br><br>Stakeholders not being able to use the system
