by Rebecca Walker — March 16, 2011—Research and Markets has announced the addition of the Facilities Management Strategies to Reduce Operating Costs report to its offering of market analysis reports.
The facilities management function has begun its strategic rise to the top of the operational hierarchy as companies shift away from the notion of FM as merely a set of day-to-day, back-office activities and look at spend category as one that can drive value to specific organizational areas, says Research and Markets.
Aberdeen Group surveyed 105 executives responsible for managing facilities in the latest research and discovered that the modern facilities management program, while focused on reducing operational costs, must leverage a balance of data and performance management, automated processes and a reliance on standardized best practices to drive down costs and improve sustainability efforts.
The report is available for purchase from the Aberdeen Group Web site.
