by Shane Henson — July 8, 2013—ARCHIBUS Inc., global developer of real estate, infrastructure, and facilities management software, recently announced the release of its newest ARCHIBUS software suite.
The release, ARCHIBUS V.21.1, is leveraging the third generation of mobile technology—hybrid mobile. The company’s software designers expect it to become a go-to solution for technology-forward real estate and facilities managers who are increasingly relying on mobility solutions to run many aspects of their organizations more efficiently.
Embedded inside ARCHIBUS, the Mobile Framework provides the platform to rapidly introduce a new breed of customer-responsive mobile apps. It features a preliminary set of mobile applications for space, asset, and maintenance management, initially running on mobile platforms such as Apple iOS and Google Android, and available free of charge on the Apple Store and Google Play. A future mobile release will support Blackberry and Windows8 operating systems, says ARCHIBUS.
In addition, enhancements to ARCHIBUS Web Central provide a simpler, next-generation user interface and forms design; compatibility with Windows 8, Internet Explorer 10, and WebLogic 12c; and enhancements to a range of ARCHIBUS applications that automate more tasks and streamline workflows.
The release also includes the latest Smart Client Extension for AutoCAD, as well as user and system management help features that increase productivity. Buyers will also be pleased that the Mobile Framework provides a wide range of features that developers and users alike can use to personalize the ARCHIBUS apps, as well as to quickly and easily create their own apps.
Just as important to facilities managers, more features and greater functionality have also been included in such applications as Preventive Maintenance, Asset Management, Environmental Health and Safety, Energy Management, Cost Administration, and Portfolio Management.
Lastly, ARCHIBUS V.21 also supports a wide variety of personalization features to tailor the system and individual applications to user needs.
