Why most CMMS migrations fail
Most failed CMMS rollouts share a common pattern: skipping data cleanup, underestimating training needs, and trying to migrate everything at once instead of phasing. This checklist gives you a structured 4-week migration path that has worked for hundreds of SMB and mid-market teams switching from spreadsheets, Hippo CMMS, MaxPanda, eMaint, Maintenance Connection, or other legacy systems to Maintoro. A disciplined migration takes 3â4 weeks for typical SMB teams (single site, 50â500 assets). Larger mid-market teams (multi-site, 500â2,000 assets) take 6â10 weeks. Either way, the path is similar: stakeholder alignment, data cleanup, structured import, parallel run, cutover.
