In my Webinar on Information Based Decisions (see the link below), I spoke about getting and using information for your benefit.
While you need an FM system and should work towards getting approval and implementing one, if you already have one, the question is whether you use it for information, not just process management. Whether you manage space with a CAFM system manage maintenance with a CMMS system or handle other typical Facilities Management responsibilities, information is king and visibility into your operations are critical to your success.
This time, as an expansion of what I talked about in the Webinar, I’d like to focus on the two challenges to getting and using information.
Recently I had the pleasure of delivering my first webinar for Facility Managers.
I’m getting more and more frustrated with the acronyms in use in our industry to deal with Facility Management computerized systems. Yes, I you read that right. I used a non-acronym to describe the other acronyms, and you know what, you probably knew exactly what I meant.
