Case Study: Bates College reduces IT burden and streamlines maintenance with Brightly Software's Asset Essentials

Bates College streamlines maintenance across 145 buildings with Brightly Software

Bates College, a private liberal arts college, faced a significant challenge when its on-premises computerized maintenance management system (CMMS) required a major and cost-prohibitive update. This prompted the college to seek a new solution to eliminate the administrative burden on its IT team and find a more cost-effective, customizable platform for facilities maintenance management. They ultimately selected Brightly Software's Asset Essentials.

By implementing Brightly Software's cloud-based Asset Essentials CMMS, Bates College eliminated the administrative IT burdens of hosting a system on-premise. The solution's built-in API allowed for customization, such as a new plug-in that automatically provides requestors with an expected date of completion for work orders. The results included a more efficient IT team focused on strategic integrations and a cost-effective, scalable system that the college can grow with.
