CAFMSolutions
CAFM (Computer Aided Facilities Management) enables a user to strategically
manage their space and facilities.
Generally CAFM systems are used for the management of all support disciplines within
an organisation. More specifically they are used to manage and present space ownership
and usage in a graphical manner, providing areas for integration within maintenance,
helpdesk, furniture and equipment inventories etc.
Your choice of software is not as critical as you think, how you use it however
is!
I.T. is a key issue these days; your organisations I.T. department will have specific
requirements for the setup, implementation and management of any new system. A simple
solution to this is to host your project offsite on one of our dedicated secure
servers.
We recommend and have arrangements with the leading brands in the CAFM market place.
It’s not so much which product is superior; more that one may be better suited to
your requirements and way of working.

Benefits
What does CAFM offer me?
A good CAFM system will save you a considerable amount of money by providing
you with concise repeatable data allowing you to take positive action. With this
level of information we have genuinely helped save one of our clients over €40,000,000
to date.
Some of the most popular uses for CAFM include;
- Space Analysis
- Moves Management
- Asset Management
- Asbestos Tracking
- Business Continuity
- Management Reporting
- Benchmarking
- Strategic Planning
- Lease Management
- Personnel Management
- Chargeback Analysis
- I.T. Helpdesk & Cable Management
By way of an example; we were asked by a large multinational bank the morning after
a major disaster; could we evaluate all vacant usable space in London to accommodate
any essential staff requiring relocation.
Within 15 minutes they were provided with an accurate report, highlighting the number
of vacant seats and other spaces that could be utilised at short notice.
The above is a reactive example only possible because they already had a CAFM system
up and running and in reality was only a simple enquiry. Imagine the power of strategic
business continuity plans.

How
We have a pragmatic approach to CAFM projects and implementations; we understand
just how important it is to prepare the foundations to ensure success.
Bringing us in at the inception phase will bring great dividends on completion.
We will ensure that you are fully informed and well placed to use your budget wisely.
Your project will progress at a pace that suits both your financial and personnel
resources and meet both your long and short term objectives.
The key to this is our knowledge of available systems, typical strengths and weakness
and a thorough knowledge of what works and what doesn't.
It is perhaps worth mentioning that we are not sellers or resellers of software
and we proudly guard our independent status. However, using our industry connections
we are well placed to arrange sensibly priced solutions ensuring you are not sold
more than you need or what isn't particularly suited for your requirements.
We also have a unique approach in that we will input a portion of your portfolio
into an arbitrary CAFM software package, demonstrating actual results and benefits
before you commit to any software.
