We currently use a Preventive Maintenance program at work to track work orders and PM's. It is a Four Rivers product called TMS. It only runs on Internet Explorer because it is a Java Web App and TMS won't update it.

Indeed. I heard that most of our IE customers are in hospitals
All companies still in 2020 use it all over Europe, very sad but true.
