August 18, 2008—Accruent subsidiary FAMIS Software, a pioneer in Integrated Workplace Management Systems (IWMS), has announced that McGill University will deploy the FAMIS Space Management, Capital Projects and Maintenance Management applications.
Initially, McGill was looking to replace its capital projects system, but discovered that FAMIS could become the central platform for space and maintenance management as well.
After a lengthy evaluation process, says McGill, it found that FAMIS is a system with the breadth, interoperability and flexibility to meet all functional, technical, and business process requirements.
One of the primary drivers of the FAMIS initiative, says the University, was to integrate all of McGill’s facilities management business processes with a single application suite. This enables greater collaboration among the multiple functional organizations involved in managing and operating a complex property portfolio. Implementing a single solution minimizes implementation, training, and ongoing support costs while improving productivity, thus increasing return on investment, says FAMIS.
FAMIS Software, developer of the FAMIS Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS), enables the entire facilities life-cycle—from real estate acquisitions to operations, maintenance, facilities management, project management, and performance metrics—to be handled by a single suite of standards-based, Web-architected software.
