GIS is Fast Becoming the Go To Decision Support Tool of Facility ManagersNew Workflow Creates Indoor GIS Implementations from Re-purposed Building Design, Operation and Maintenance Data. When first introduced, word processing took the business world by storm. Almost overnight, people went from simple typing to saving and editing documents. Facility GIS implementations have proven similar to the advent of word processing as they have greatly expanded the capabilities of an existing technology. As facility expenses pass from development to use, existing data can also move from a point of obsolescence to full functionality. What Makes GIS Different?The capabilities of CAFM systems can be greatly improved with the introduction of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data and geospatial technology. Both direct GIS integration and GIS to CAFM software "plug-ins" are quickly becoming readily available for most leading CAFM systems. Similarly, most common GIS software titles can perform a variety of vital facility functions "out-of-the-box", with only the addition of existing facility data. The highest level of results are seen when systems are integrated by sharing a single enterprise wide database architecture.
