October 22, 2008—VISTA Technology Services, Inc. (VISTA) will provide ARCHIBUS Planning and Implementation Services for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The implementation of an enterprise automated facility management system solution—also referred to as Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) or Computer Aided Facility Management (CAFM) system—will support real property facilities management functions for three NOAA regional centers. VISTA is a leader in decision support analytics for government and business and is a recognized leader in facility management and computer-aided decision support systems.
NOAA selected ARCHIBUS as the preferred solution based on its usability, performance and overall ability to meet the agency’s functional requirements.
The VISTA-ARCHIBUS model gives clients the ability to optimize their utilization of facilities and real property through Building Information Modeling (BIM). BIM is the process of generating and managing building data during its life cycle. This is typically done with three-dimensional, real-time, dynamic building modeling software to increase productivity in building design and construction.
Work will be conducted in three phases: solution design and planning; implementation; and technical support services. The contract has a performance period of one year, with four consecutive option years.
