Even with the tools that are available today, FM Innovations still finds that many facilities groups are utilizing old technology and manual processes to manage their buildings, people and assets by:

• Manually highlighting CAD drawings to show departments
• Manually inputting square footages from a CAD drawing to a spreadsheet
• Walking their facility with a CAD drawing in hand to determine occupancy/vacancy
• Taking weeks or even months to produce space chargeback reports

But with the technology available today, facility managers can efficiently manage their portfolio through automated processes. Whether they’re looking to share basic information within their facilities department, or whether they collaborate with other groups for move coordination, maintenance and operations or strategic planning, today’s CAFM and IWMS tools help them deliver better customer service, reduce costs, and improve the productivity of the entire organization.
