by Rebecca Walker — July 22, 2009—FM:Systems, a leading provider of integrated workplace management systems (IWMS) and computer-aided facility management (CAFM) software, announced that DuPont, a science-based products and services company operating in more than 70 countries, is using its Web-based software product FM:Interact to manage its worldwide real estate portfolio.
By gathering global data, the facilities team has helped decrease operating expenses and become a strategic resource for the corporation, notes FM:Systems.
FM:Interact is helping DuPont track and report on critical workplace information such as space costs and use, enabling facilities managers to view their entire portfolio and get real-time data from any location. Having quick access to this information allows the DuPont facilities team to deliver competitive real estate solutions that have generated income, reduced energy use and saved on maintenance costs.
The global nature of DuPont business was the catalyst for looking for a robust, single CAFM product. Previously, DuPont used several different systems to manage its facilities, and it would take days or weeks to consolidate information worldwide, noted FM:Systems. DuPont needed more visibility into its space portfolio and a single, centralized system that could easily integrate with other enterprise systems.
By connecting people, place and process, FM:Systems helps facilities and real-estate professionals improve customer service, reduce costs and increase productivity enterprise-wide. For more information, see the Web site as well as the company’s ad on FMLink.
