Facility Management (FM) as defined by the International Facility Management Assocations (IFMA) is “an integrative management
process that considers people, process and place in an organizational context.” FM involves many individuals, all engaged
in the process of managing and maintaining buildings, construction and people over time. Facility managers are entrusted
with what generally is the largest single asset group on the balance sheet.
CAFM systems are any combination of CAD and/or database software designed specifically for facility management functions.
Those functions can include:
- Space inventory and management
- Architectural and interior planning
- Space forecasting
- Telecommunications and cable management
- Lease and property management
- Facility budgeting and accounting
- Maintenance and operations
CAFM systems help manage your facility more efficiently by integrating facilities information and CAD drawings to give you
instant reporting. Some of the improvements found from implementing a CAFM are:
- Improved cost control due to better space, inventory, and move management planning
- Smooth workflow processes related to facility design and management, thereby improving customer support
- Documented compliance with regulations
- Higher employee productivity by placing higher priority on the work environment
- Better management decision-making by having integrated and up-to-date data
Whatever your needs, TCG will review and provide development strategies to determine what CAFM system is best for you. We
will help set up your CAFM system, provide support as well as input asset information data for your space.
