Technology isn’t just enhancing education—it’s reshaping it.
It's no secret that technology has the power to transform education. But it's not just about improvement; it’s about reimagining how we create engaging learning environments. Facilities Management Software (FMS) plays a crucial role in transforming education facilities and operational enhancements. Implementing a technology solution can help K-12 school districts ensure that the learning environment is safe, efficient, and adaptable to modern needs.
Steven Warshaw, CEO of Intellis, kicks off the discussion at the Edu-Tech Summit, sharing what makes this event a valuable opportunity to connect with educators and facility leaders while highlighting the impact of the Foundation System software.
Empowering Schools Through Smart Facilities Management
Facilities Management Software not only improves education—it reimagines it, leading to more dynamic, engaging, and future-proof learning experiences.
- Optimizing Learning Spaces – FMS helps schools and universities track and manage classroom conditions, HVAC systems, lighting, and other environmental factors directly impacting student engagement and well-being.
- Smart Campus Integration – Advanced FMS solutions integrate IoT devices and AI to monitor building performance in real-time, automate maintenance requests, and optimize resource use, creating more responsive and student-friendly learning environments.
- Sustainability and Cost Efficiency – Schools are constantly looking for ways to reduce operational costs and improve sustainability. FMS enables data-driven decision-making to manage energy consumption, reduce waste, and extend the lifecycle of facilities.
- Supporting Future-Ready Education – As schools evolve with new teaching methods and digital tools, FMS ensures facilities can adapt—whether redesigning spaces for hybrid learning, optimizing layouts for STEM labs, or maintaining high-tech infrastructure.
