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.

Famous quotes containing the words system and/or evolution:
“Some rough political choices lie ahead. Should affirmative action be retained? Should preference be given to people on the basis of income rather than race? Should the system be—and can it be—scrapped altogether?”
—David K. Shipler (b. 1942)
“Analyze theory-building how we will, we all must start in the middle. Our conceptual firsts are middle-sized, middle-distanced objects, and our introduction to them and to everything comes midway in the cultural evolution of the race.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
