What is Emergency Response Management? ERM or Emergency Response Management refers to documented procedures that outline how the facility management team should respond to an unexpected emergency situation.

Now more than ever is the time to ensure you have a comprehensive emergency preparedness plan. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve and impact the way all facilities—from Government to offices to schools to Colleges and Universities—are used and managed.

How can you ensure every capital dollar your organization spends truly supports your mission today and for years to come? In an environment shaped by rapid change and evolving demands, aligning facility investments with your strategic purpose has never been more essential or more possible. The evolution of cloud-based tools means capital planning is no longer guesswork or disconnected spreadsheets.

What is IoT? The Internet of Things is the collection and exchange of data between physical devices connected via Internet protocol; more simply, it refers to connecting things (machinery, sensors) to the Internet.

Happy New Year! In the coming years, we anticipate that the Facility Management industry will continue to undergo even greater digital transformation. By leveraging optimization solutions that have expanded to also focus on enhanced asset performance and maintenance management, your facilities team can save money, reduce risk, and improve efficiency.

As campus buildings age, facilities leaders in higher education face mounting pressure: balancing limited budgets, aging infrastructure, and growing expectations from stakeholders. The real challenge? Creating capital improvement plans that are data-driven, defensible, and future-focused.

Facility managers in the K12 Education sector are tasked with various constraints—from aging public school infrastructure to staying compliant amidst constant changes to health and safety regulations to shrinking budgets. Therefore it is critical to know how every building, physical asset, and system in your care is performing and where opportunities exist for facility optimization.

We are pleased to share that Intellis took part in this year's virtual Campus Facilities Summit, which brought together the heads of facilities, capital planning, construction and engineering from the top colleges and universities across the nation.
