What Is Facility Management?

It's time to meet the new boss. The same as the old boss, only better. You won't believe what this new boss has in store for us. It's great new tech that we are sure will make your life easy and how! Facility management is managing multiple interdisciplinary technologies and personnel in a way that promotes efficiency and collaboration. The goal? To promote an efficient, collaborative environment that meets and fulfills an organization's key objectives and mission. Computer-Aided Facilities Management (CAFM) is an IT-based facility management system that uses computer software to manage facilities. It helps companies manage their facilities by tracking them, automating processes, and providing reports for managers. The International Facility Management Association is the world's largest association of facilities professionals, and they know their stuff. They've been in business since 1959 and have grown and evolved to become one of the most respected names in their field. They've identified 11 critical competencies that facility managers must have to succeed: communication, business, finance, project management and technology. Guess what? It is integrated into all of these areas! Communication is the key to a productive and successful workplace. What if we could go beyond "communication" and create an environment where communication was so fluid that it was almost like you were working with a single brain? Imagine a world where you didn't have to worry about sharing information with your coworkers because they already knew it. That's what network communication is all about. It's about collaboration and efficiency, allowing your team members to work seamlessly across the entire company or organization. For example, financial management software will help you track your organization's economic activities, and it can also help you manage your projects on both enterprise and departmental levels. So, when it comes down to it… IFMA knows what they're talking about!
