So we had to tackle assignments in Tririga this last week. The program is admittedly usable and provides great functionality. The HUGE drawback to an assignment like this is the lack of realism. I would never as the FM be inputting this information and populating these databases myself. The consulting team and the vendor would be paying an intern to do this work.
The CMMS case study we are doing in class is also less than stellar. I will need to make decisions on workflow software in my future career, I know that. But the objective of this assignment is not choosing a software package--it is to help us become familiar with different CMMS systems on the market right now.
This objective can be accomplished in a number of ways. The case study approach may be nice practice for case studies; however, the driving factor in having us write this comes from the University administration. It gives them warm fuzzies knowing that we are writing papers in every class as a required part of the curriculum. So in every class from framing to real estate to safety, we have to do group work and a paper.

Would your professor or class like another real estate solution to use as part of your curriculum? I would like to offer use of AMTdirect if you are interested. I can be contacted at 888-551-4268.

If you/ your class want to have a look at a stand alone CMMS solution you may want to have a look at FastMaint CMMS. The 30-day trial that can be downloaded from http://www.smglobal.com is fully functional. It can be useful to manage smaller facilities or where the budget is a concern (the single user version starts at US$ 495).
Good luck in your facilities management career!
