| Achieve Maximum Benefit from Your Technology Solutions Facility professionals need to find the most convenient, cost effective and optimal way to manage their day to day operations, coordinate capital jobs and handle the enormous amount of data. There are a number of ways to gather and store this data, and each involves a different level of effort and can produce a different level of detail. Currently many organizations lack the ability to easily view deferred maintenance requirements and costs, prioritize projects, and accurately update new and existing data in a timely manner. This workshop examines how software applications can change the facility management profession, what the future holds, and how facility managers can make the most effective use of technology. Participants will learn how to take advantage of Facilities Management and Capital Planning software to improve an organization’s bottom line by better identification of real data needs and increased efficiency. Instructors will give examples of different facility management functions and discuss which software programs are most effective in attaining desired objectives in these areas. Participants will learn: •How different software can increase facility managers’ overall productivity •What software works best for different facility management functions? •How to ensure effective synergy between various software applications Upcoming Dates Location Time Cost |
