Computer-aided Facility Management - CAFM System Evolution

CAFM System Evolution

A number of large and small companies provide CAFM products. Historically, such products have been designed to be installed on client-managed servers, while today some have evolved into cloud-based operations. Cloud services allow facility managers outsource the provision of CAFM software and data services without needing separate contracts or expertise to host and maintain physical servers.

Software products vary both on the types of activities they will manage and in the level of technical expertise they require with drawing tools such as AutoCAD.
