3. Technology is transforming our lives.
Facilities Management shouldn’t be an exception.

4. 6
Technology is constantly evolving.
You need to be prepared.

5. Digitize all of your
critical building
information.
Tip #1

6. Data needs to be shareable
Digital information can be easily shared to
accelerate decision-making and action
Sharing paper information is
inconvenient and time consuming

7. Technicians need to
quickly find information
wherever they are working
Data needs to be searchable
It is nearly impossible
to quickly search
paper-based information
Search and access is
possible with modern
cloud-based solutions

8. Data needs to be protected
Information stored locally is
susceptible to damage from
fire, water, critters and weather
Floorplans can be
lost or damaged when
someone removes them
Paper documents become
worn with repeated use
and deteriorate over time

9. Make sure building
information is
available through
mobile devices
for instant access
Tip #2

10. Nearly everything
is accessible via
mobile devices.
Should your
facilities information
be any different?

11. Simple emergencies can become catastrophes
When information is not
instantly available, situations
cannot be contained.

12. The simple act of locating paper plans wastes valuable time
Facilities professionals should be
able to access building information
anytime from anywhere
Walking or driving back and forth
for critical building information is
an inefficient use of your time.

13. Your information
should be
interconnected
Tip #3

14. Siloed information is difficult to access and time-consuming
Most software solutions used in
Facilities Management is stored
in files and folders
Today’s mobile and cloud
technology allows easy
navigation of complex data

15. Use technology
that doesn’t
require extensive
training
Tip #4

16. Any technology we invest in today should be easy to use.

17. Companies like Google and Apple develop software
which incorporates AI and machine learning, while
being easy and intuitive for the end user.

18. An intuitive user interface and positive user
experience are key elements for today’s software.

19. Facilities professionals are already fighting time.
Learning a new software is unrealistic and unnecessary.

20. Tip #5
Avoid custom
software

21. Customizing software is a lengthy, expensive process.

22. While it may look very attractive at the beginning
more often than not it requires updates long
before it is even fully implemented

23. Mobile apps allow us to access information
quickly and efficiently from anywhere, anytime.
Apps in the world of facilities
management is a gamechanger

24. How do facilities teams avoid getting left behind?

25. A new approach

26. Instant Access to
Building & Equipment
Information
