In a technology enabled and networked environment equipped with world class infrastructure and
best of the breed applications, it has become extremely challenging for enterprises to ensure proper
functioning of all the elements, as this greatly affects their global presence and brand reputation.
Smooth functioning of the business is dependent on the proper and timely functioning of all the
operational, manufacturing, production and IT infrastructure of the enterprise. Further to ensure
that all these components are working in perfect coordination, every enterprise irrespective of the
industry has to ensure that the facilities are functional 24/7.
Facilities management is defined as an interdisciplinary and integrated multidisciplinary field that is
devoted to the coordination of space, infrastructure, people and organization and is associated with
the administrative functions of an organization. Facilities management today plays a major role in
providing enterprises with a competitive edge thereby enhancing productivity and minimizing
operational expenses. The FM services cover a wide range of non-core activities. The core
competencies of facility management services include communication, emergency preparedness,
business continuity, sustaining through environmental conditions, leadership and strategy,
operations and maintenance that ensures quality of the products and services rendered by the
enterprises.
However, with the increasing vastness of the global business world, maintenance of the
organizational requirements becomes more demanding. Thus most of the global enterprises tend to
outsource the services from third party service providers. Being specialist in facilities management
services, these providers helps enterprises to reduce costs by reducing the need for employing
skilled manpower and equipment. Besides these there are other benefits that the specialized facility

successful growth of the enterprises. While at the corporate level this helps to meet the strategic
and operational objectives, on a day-to-day level this provides a safe and efficient working
environment that enables the workforce to focus on the business activities. The customized FMS
