Embracing technology is key for facility managers who oversee multi-site facility portfolios with a lot of physical assets. Structured and organized Facility Management has the potential to improve the physical performance and appearance of a building as well as its systems. It will also increase occupants satisfaction, and improve the efficiency with which all buildings and assets are maintained and operated.

Facilities executives can address issues with the help of facilities management software, which enable facilities managers to clear the backlog of deferred maintenance, measure performance, and implement sustainable models for smart planning and capital investment that will better align your facilities department with the institutional mission, so that you can achieve your goals and ensure the success of your corporate real estate portfolio's for generations to come.

Here are the top 3 ways technology offers better insight and visibility into the performance of physical assets for facility managers.

1. Mobile. While this trend is being refined and improved constantly, it’s not going away. Using a mobile-focused technology that can tap into the whole service line (e.g., asset data capture) will be a significant benefit.

2. Connectivity. With the world expected to be even more connected in the future, there will be many more solutions trying to get everyone connected in the facilities management world. However, very few solutions are doing it right. Find a solution that actually works and is operational rather than just a shiny promise.

3. AI and Robotics. It’s still too early to know when a robot that can complete a task from start to finish will be available for sale. However, it’s coming. For now, focus on a solution that is committed to efficiency and productivity, and making information accessible and readable.
