2017 PRSM Mid-Year Conference

Bridging the Gap Between FM and IT (Room 3rd Floor, Room 310)

In the last few years, we have seen an increase in technologies being used in all facets of facilities maintenance from data analytics, building information modeling, energy management systems, automation security, data centers and other areas impacting the technology infrastructure. The cross over between facilities and Informational Systems (IT) within an organization is increasing. Instead of FM and IT working in silos, this session will explore the opportunities in taking a holistic approach in system integration.

By attending this session, you will:

  • Understand the key factors which facility management and IT need to communicate prior to new technology implementation.
  • Define the phases an organization should underago ensuring technology and facilities successfully implement new technology.
  • Examine financial inferences and potential risk associated with various projects applied by facilities and IT.
  • Discuss the technological trends retail organizations are currently executing as well as their impacts.
