What is MRO?
What is MCe Admin1?

MRO means: "Maintenance Repairs Operations" it is an industry term for for the work that is done.

Software that helps with a significant portion of the MRO will often have MRO in it's name or description.

MRO as a product is very ambiguous, so we try to only use it as an add-on to the rest of the name. For marketing purposes, companies will add 'MRO' to their name if they cover even a small portion of the MRO software needs.

For MRO, MCe's Admin1 in CMMS industry standard terminology is an MRO "Maintenance Repairs Operations" product so "MCe Admin1C Manager CMMS/MRO", is often abbreviated "MCe Admin1C" or even just "Admin1" (The C refers to it being a concurrent version of the Admin1 license) and it is an MRO license. We choose, for clarity, to not use 'MRO' when referring to our products like advanced reports, inventory count, technician focused products.

Accruent sometimes uses MRO to refer to the whole suit of products together, their MRO product, their Service Requester, their Reporter, their Technician workstation.

We interface to many systems. We have integrated to Accruent's MC aka MC, aka Maintenance Connection since 2003. Many of our customers, and as a result we, when talking to them, use 'MRO' when talking about their product, and Admin1 when talking about the MCe Admin1 MRO CMMS product.

Other companies may have products with MRO in their names or in their usage.

To be a true, complete, MRO you would need a lot of features starting with the 'obvious' and continuing on down.
