Integration - A Best Practice

Where IT, FM, and security meet.

Published March 2005 Eliminate multiple systems and eliminate operating costs.

Integration is a current best practice. This includes the integration of security systems, technology, and IT; and integrating application software programs to eliminate the cost of running multiple systems. Integration initiatives that eliminate multiple systems pay for themselves just in software maintenance and operator reduction. Web- based Intranet systems are the strategy of choice for FM software integration and user interface.
