    BENEFITS OF A CMMS PERPETUAL LICENSe from compassafm

    When it comes to choosing a CMMS system, one of the critical decisions is between a perpetual license and a subscription model. There are many advantages to a perpetual license.

    1. Ownership and Control

    A perpetual CMMS license allows you to fully customise and configure the software to meet your specific needs. You aren't bound by the limitations of a subscription service that may restrict certain functionalities or require approval for modifications.


    You also never need to worry about data-trapping or disputes over data ownership.


    Concerns about data security and privacy are minimised, especially as you control who has access to sensitive information, not the vendor.

    2. Cost-Effectiveness Over Time

    Think of a subscription as a continuous expense like rent; you pay for as long as you use it, but you never truly own anything. A perpetual license is like purchasing a house— after the initial investment, you have a long-term asset. This can lead to significant savings over time, especially for organizations with long-term maintenance needs.

    3. No Price Increases

    A subscription comes with the risk of price increases, which can strain budgets and complicate financial planning. In contrast, a perpetual CMMS license typically comes with a one-time fee, ensuring that your costs remain stable. 

    4. Freedom to Scale and Adapt

    With a perpetual CMMS license, you have the flexibility to adapt the software as your business grows. You can freely add additional users, new features, integrate with other systems, and tailor the solution to suit your evolving requirements without waiting for the vendor’s approval or incurring additional subscription  / customisation costs.

    5. No Risk of 'Eviction'

    If a vendor experiences financial difficulties or decides to discontinue the service, you could lose access to critical software.  A perpetual license protects you from this risk. Once you purchase the software, it’s yours to use indefinitely, ensuring that your maintenance management system remains in place regardless of vendor decisions.
