About FMLink
Subscriber Profile As of Summer 2010, 44% of our 87,000 online subscribers work as in-house facilities managers, real estate professionals, designers or in corporate management. An additional 22% are either facilities management or specialty consultants (many of these may have been former facilities managers and/or offer FM outsourcing services and therefore are functioning in a role similar to that of an in-house FM). Six percent are FM teachers or students, and another 6% are suppliers or vendors of products or construction services; an additional 2% represent outside design firms. The remaining 21% are from a variety of other areas.
