benefit. Opening a window to the future, analytics let managers
take trusted integrated data to do gaming and modeling. Data
suddenly becomes actionable information for making the best
possible decisions, as in “Based on what I know now, here’s what I
should do for the future.”

Stated another way, real estate leadership groups are now
making proactive, not reactive decisions through planning,
projecting and road-mapping to manage and optimize current
assets. This is only possible when a manager has a complete,
trusted data set, which is where IWMS comes in. The better IWMS
systems have built-in analytics capabilities that do that kind of
gaming instead of just reports, which is not to downplay metrics’
value, but to underscore data analytics value enhancement. With
the right analytics, access to business decisions and the compa-
ny’s strategic planning, management can model to create more
accurate plans (e.g., “What do we need in five years vs. what do
we fix today?”)

#4 And the fourth key benefit focuses on the IWMS design
benefit of a single, optimized system. IWMS’ integration goes
beyond just the normalized dataset mentioned earlier. It actually
enables the definition and deployment of a set of ‘best practice’
processes, thus providing the CRE team a more robust and effec-
tive management tool, providing everything a facility manager
needs under one roof. Remembering that “The tools are cool but
processes rule,” even if IWMS does not address every conceivable
tactical need, it still enables management with the unique ability
to work more efficiently by allowing deployment and monitoring
of work processes.

Case in point: A global company historically did all its plan-
ning on Excel spreadsheets routed to managers. It entailed an
extraordinarily cumbersome process of exchanging data and
presentations that stretched over six months—including data
collection, scrubbing and evaluation to set next year’s budget.
