IWMS IBM Tririga integrated

With the integration of facility management within IBM MAS 9.1, you have one central solution for both asset and real estate management. Why is that so interesting? We list three important trends and show how the IWMS functionality in IBM MAS 9.1 helps you to deal with them smartly.

1. Hybrid working is changing how you use buildings

Many employees nowadays work partly from home, partly in the office, and often on varying days. How do you prevent entire floors from being heated or cooled while they are hardly used? And how do you ensure that employees can always book a suitable workplace or meeting room, without having any vacancies?

With IBM MAS 9.1 you get direct insight into the use of workplaces and meeting rooms. You can see which rooms are full and which are hardly occupied. You can arrange reservations, catering, climate control and audiovisual resources all from the same platform. This way you can cleverly control the occupancy and ensure that facilities are available at exactly the right time. You optimize the occupancy rate, save energy costs and offer a workplace that employees enjoy using.

For example, do certain teams only come together physically once a month? You ensure that the meeting room is perfectly in order: the heating on, the projector working, the catering arranged. With the IWMS functions in IBM MAS 9.1 you can organize this easily and efficiently.

2. Sustainability is a strategic priority

Saving energy and reducing CO₂ emissions are high on the agenda. Not only because it is necessary, but also because it saves a lot of costs. IBM MAS 9.1 helps you with this. You continuously monitor the energy consumption and environmental performance of your buildings and adjust where necessary.

Perhaps you only need to heat one floor because there are few people in the office that day. Or you decide to invest in more economical installations based on data. Thanks to the IWMS functionality, you can record these choices in a well-founded manner and easily report on your sustainability goals.

The advantage goes beyond costs and reports. A healthy and comfortable building – think of air quality, green areas and smart lighting – makes it more attractive for your employees to come to the office. This is no unnecessary luxury in this tight labor market.

3. Smarter handling of costs and resources

Energy, personnel, real estate – everything has become more expensive. Yet facility management is often still approached in a fragmented way. Data are spread across departments and locations, which means that there is not always a complete picture of the costs and resources.

With IBM MAS 9.1 you bring everything together. You can see the status of your buildings and installations at a glance. Sensors and building management systems provide up-to-date data on, for example, temperature, occupancy and security. This allows you to plan maintenance at exactly the right time, prevent unnecessary malfunctions and extend the lifespan of your assets. You also make informed decisions about, for example, divesting or redesigning buildings. The result? More control over costs, better planning and fewer surprises.

Asset and facility management in one system

With asset management and facility management together in IBM MAS 9.1 you have one software package, with one application manager, one IT contract and one central database in which all departments work together. This also saves costs, while breaking down silos in your organization: the exchange of information between teams becomes easier and your maintenance and facility management are better coordinated.

From banks or multinationals with a large real estate portfolio to safety regions, government services or production companies: the integration of IWMS functionality within IBM MAS 9.1 offers advantages to organizations in all sectors.
