Effective capital planning has never been more critical as organizations look to the future. Facility managers face mounting challenges as they strive to maintain aging infrastructure, meet sustainability goals, and manage constrained budgets. These challenges are expected to intensify in 2025. Adopting innovative solutions that streamline the planning process and deliver data-driven insights is crucial.
Top Challenges in Capital Planning for 2025 – And How to Overcome Them
In this blog, we’ll explore the top challenges in Capital Planning and discuss how modern technology, such as Intellis’s Foundation System, can empower organizations to overcome them.
