Aging infrastructure, deferred maintenance, staffing shortages, tightening budgets, and growing expectations for transparency are forcing school districts to rethink how they manage buildings and assets.

Large school districts do not struggle with capital planning because they lack data. They struggle because turning facility condition data, cost assumptions, and district priorities into decisions leaders can defend is far more difficult than collecting the information in the first place.

Intellis is pleased to announce that CEO Steven Warshaw will attend the Council of the Great City Schools Chief Operating Officers and Operational Directors Conference in Detroit, Michigan, April 21–24, 2026.

For many organizations, capital planning is treated as a periodic exercise — something that happens every few years, produces a document, and then quietly drifts out of sync with reality.

One of the biggest shifts we're seeing is moving asset data validation into the field — not after the fact. Curious how others are tackling this today?

Property condition assessments play a critical role in understanding risk, planning capital investment projects, and making informed decisions about buildings and portfolios. But for many organizations, the assessment process still ends the same way it has for decades — with a static report that's difficult to reuse, analyze, or defend over time. That's where Property Condition Assessment (PCA) software comes in.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming facility management by improving decision-making, optimizing systems, and automating tasks. However, AI needs high-quality data, strategic implementation, and ongoing refinement. Effective use of AI can unlock efficiencies, but rushing in without proper data or training risks costly mistakes.

For years, spreadsheets have been the go-to tool for everything from facility condition assessments to capital planning. They're familiar, flexible, and easy to set up. But here's the truth: spreadsheets weren't built to manage the complexity of today's building portfolios or capital planning needs.
