faciliCAD launches enhanced version of its CAFM software

by Shane Henson — January 18, 2013—Austin, Texas-based faciliCAD, a provider of computer-aided facilities management (CAFM) software, announced the release of faciliCAD Version 5.2, an interim release that the company says provides enhanced compatibility and performance in 64-bit computing environments and incorporates several improvements suggested by its customers.

The company’s popular faciliCAD software harnesses the power of AutoCAD by adding FM-specific features linked to a powerful database, and is used by building owners, property managers, architects, facilities management consultants and others who need to plan and manage their space portfolios to maximize productivity while reducing costs, the company says.

Coupling the power of AutoCAD with Microsoft SQL Server allows faciliCAD to easily link graphical objects with database records and transform typical CAD drawings into intelligent resources. The powerful management tool is affordable to own, easy to use and simple to implement, says faciliCAD. Updates to the software include:

  • Improved 64-bit support, providing for enhanced performance and enabling users to handle larger datasets.
  • New and updated management reports, including Occupancy and Employee Area reports, bringing the total number of reports to 170.
  • Enhanced user interface, allowing for improved workflow and efficiency.
