Facilities Management

Major facility changes are always a challenge for any organization. Whether a company is moving to a larger or smaller space, the issues are the same; evaluating current assets, space planning for the new location and effectively reusing assets.

When a major financial services organization decided to move to a new campus, it required a team of skilled and knowledgeable professionals to properly manage the move. The goal was to move 2,800 employees in 8 buildings to new quarters in several tightly controlled phases. Complicating the move was a mandate that existing furniture was to be reused to the maximum extent.

ASI’s role was to conduct the 80,000 asset inventory, install and implement the asset management software, train the personnel, advise on the process mechanics and integrate the results into a CAD system to be used for phase planning. Additionally, data was integrated into purchasing and accounting systems.

The inventory was completed on time and on budget and the software/data integration was accomplished well ahead of the project requirements. That allowed greater time for process evaluation and user training assuring optimal results.
