Executive Summary
Geographic information systems (GISs) are an integral tool for many industries, and their applications are fast becoming essential for real estate facilities and asset management. In the current economic climate, facilities managers (FMs) are digitizing building operations in pursuit of cost savings, improved operational efficiencies and more meaningful spatial insights. With advancements in technology, it is now easier than ever for organizations to use GIS to improve occupant experience and translate complex spatial data sets into actionable insights. However, most firms have yet to take advantage of GIS capabilities – and not all facilities management software offers its integration. Vendors and corporate buyers should leverage the findings of this report to discover how to capitalize on the changing priorities of real estate managers and FMs.
