2) What are your requirements?
3) Do you already have a "simple" paper based system?
4) What business are you in?
5) Are your work processes documented?
6) Do you have an IT department?
All systems are the best, I never heard any vendor claiming he is selling an mediocre product.

What kind of reports do you want out of it?
Are you going to track craft qualifications?
Do need a Capital Project capability?
What kind of work scheduling, if any?
It's been awhile since I looked but Maintenance Technology magazine used to have a whole host of articles on CMMS on their website. www.mt-online.com

Here at Mineta San Jose International Airport I just implemented Infor EAM. We broke this project into 2 phases. Phase 1 was discovery to review and map out our business processes, asset management schema, Central Stores operation, financial and purchasing habits. Phase 2 was the developement of an implemtation plan then RFP was released setting the requirements. Always remember that you need to consider expandability of the system as your program grows, and believe me it will. Also your network infrastructure needs to be looked at and the type of support that is available internally.

The three that I would start with are in no particular order are:
Maximo
Infor EAM
Maintenance Connection
All three offer GIS integration as well. Depending on the scope and budget there are several directions you can go. How deep you intergrate with other business processes (accounting, purchasing) etc. is also factor. If you have a dedicated IT department they are also going to have a big say about what you purchase. Don't forget the end users, if they don't buy in its useless. Some systems are much more intuitive than others. Maintenance Technology magazine is a good resource.
