CAFM Outsourcing - Infrastructure.Net

Outsourcing CAFM
Computer Aided Facility Management:

For the past 20 years there have been many excellent software packages designed to assist in the understanding and management of large corporate and institutional facilities. This development has enticed numerous organizations to want to have their own in-house "facility information" system.

Others have simply put off or could not justify moving forward with the information revolution - “our email and spreadsheets are working just fine”.

Both the above scenarios can be very costly.

Infrastructure.Net now offers a comprehensive yet cost-effective alternative – why not outsource?

"Systems to provide you with the information you need when you need it – on premise or via the Cloud"

The Infrastructure.Net Team has been providing facilities related solutions and services to our clients for over two decades. Because each property owner or facility manager has different needs, we help you define the information you need -- and then we deliver the system to provide it!

Our experienced CAFM team can provide you with all kinds of facility information – from electronic floor plans, space utilization figures and staff locations through to Work Order management, bar coded Furniture Fixture & Equipment inventories, Tenant and Leasing information plus Space Needs forecasting and more.

"Good quality CAD plans form the basis of an effective CAFM system"

Whether you need a full-blown CAFM system or just want to maintain an up-to-date and usable building floor plan database, one of the first steps is creating accurate CAD facility plans. Infrastructure.Net can develop a digital library of plans based on your current collection of building and site blueprints; or if you don't have them, we can provide a laser accurate on-site architectural survey.

Your new interactive drawing library will allow you easy access to your facility's plans and will provide the opportunity to keep those plans current as changes are made. Your staff can enter the updates or we can do it for you. Once established, this CAD database can be used at any time to make hard-copy drawings for your use in the field, for marketing, way finding, maintenance or whatever suits your needs.
