February 28, 2007—VFA, Inc., a leading provider of end-to-end solutions for facilities capital planning and asset management, has introduced a new facilities benchmarking service.
This service, says the company, helps organizations understand how their facilities compare to others in their peer group, the meaning of the comparative differences for their portfolio, and the appropriate strategies for targeting improvements.
VFA bases its benchmarking findings on a subset of data managed by VFA.facility, its award-winning capital planning and asset management software. Its benchmarking database currently includes more than 41,000 buildings with a total of more than one billion square feet.
As part of the benchmarking service, VFA helps an organization define a relevant peer group based on market, region, facility type and other criteria, as well as the most critical performance measures for comparison, such as indices of facility condition, replacement value and requirement costs. Using aggregate data from its peer group, VFA benchmarks the organizations portfolio based on a set of comparative metrics and provides an in-depth analysis of specific areas most important to the customer.
In addition to delivering a detailed report of benchmark findings, including analysis, interpretation and recommendations, VFA conducts in-depth workshops with customers to discuss the relevance of the findings and the implications for their long-term capital strategy.
