Computer-aided Facility Management - Implementation Plan

Implementation Plan

The primary goals of this analysis are to determine an organization’s requirements for managing its physical assets and facilities processes; the optimal approaches for automating these real estate and facilities management tasks; and the resources required. When an organization decides to implement a CAFM or IWMS solution, the selected vendor will conduct a four phase process that clearly outlines the process from start to finish (varies depending on selected vendor):

Phase I - Needs Analysis

1. Preliminary Assessment
2. Opportunity Analysis

• Resource Analysis
• Data Requirements
• Data Access and Flow
• Training Requirements
• Implementation Plan and Analysis Report

Phase II - Solution Design

1. System Design
2. Standards Development
3. Software Personalization
4. Procedures Guide

Phase III - Implementation

1. Software Installation
2. Data Development and/or Integration
3. Report Production
4. User Training

Phase IV - Post-Implentation Support

1. Technical Support
2. Review and Evaluation
3. System Enhancements
4. Supplementary User Training
