In today’s business landscape, organizations are facing not only the traditional market challenges but also the complexities of real estate and facilities management. These challenges encompass managing increasing real estate costs, sustainability goals, and hybrid work environments. Effective facilities management directly impacts employee productivity and customer satisfaction, influencing operational costs, energy consumption, and the overall optimization of the facility.

Many businesses tend to view facilities from isolated perspectives, with different departments focusing on various aspects such as maintenance, cost evaluation, and employee productivity. However, breaking down these silos and adopting a holistic approach is crucial for comprehensive facilities management.

While individual solutions have their advantages, they often lack the ability to leverage common data or provide a company-wide overview of facility status. Building custom linkages between individual solutions introduces new challenges and may limit the ability to adapt to new capabilities offered by solution providers.

Organizations are seeking integrated solutions that can be implemented gradually to address immediate challenges and scale over time. They are shifting towards treating facilities as strategic investments rather than mere expenses, leading to the increasing adoption of holistic real estate and facility management solutions. These solutions not only enable effective facilities management processes but also establish a centralized source of truth for real estate and facilities portfolios, which is invaluable for various operations including audits, capital planning, and lease management.
