- The Federal Real Property Reduction Goal: Ensuring Successful Space / Cost Rationalization
- “For decades, the Federal Government, the largest property owner and energy user in the United States, has managed more real estate than necessary to effectively support its programs and missions.”
“Both taxpayer dollars and energy resources are being wasted to maintain these excess assets. In addition, many of the properties necessary for the Government’s work are not operated efficiently, resulting in wasted funds and excessive greenhouse gas pollution.”

- From Lonely BIM to Social BIM: Moving Beyond Design to FM
- ARCHIBUS, Inc. – Boston, MA
- While the process behind BIM is social in comparison to the “old days” where architects designed 2D or 3D models in CAD, engineers added drawings and spreadsheets, builders added more spreadsheets, with the goal being to present the final “deliverable” with all its corresponding documentation — BIM is, in reality, still a “lonely” process. The goal of this presentation is to demonstrate that communication between BIM systems and other corporate systems must increase even further in order for BIM applications to be recognized for their amazing ability to cut costs and raise profitability.

- How to Select a TIFM System
- ARCHIBUS, Inc. – Boston, MA
- To ensure success, organizations realize they must use every information technology tool at their disposal to improve business efficiency, rationalize resource utilization, and reduce costs.
Too many firms, however, have overlooked what can often be a significant source of savings by not deploying a special class of software that improves management of real estate, infrastructure and facilities: Total Infrastructure Facilities Management (TIFM) software. TIFM and its earlier though less evolved software sub-sets (in order of appearance: FM, CAFM, CIFM, IWMS) have made life progressively easier for real estate and facilities managers.
But picking the right TIFM software can be a challenge. This white paper examines what to look for in a TIFM solution that leverages existing IT investments to improve organizational performance and profitability.

- ARCHIBUS Foundation Concepts: Extending ARCHIBUS throughout an Organization—from Needs Analysis to Value Proposition
- ARCHIBUS, Inc. – Boston, MA
- Once ARCHIBUS has been successfully implemented and proven its value to an organization, it is not uncommon for other departments to discover that they can also benefit by using other ARCHIBUS applications to access this “gold standard” of information.
This Foundation Concept white paper is intended to provide you with many perspectives on extending ARCHIBUS within your organization. It discusses various definitions, and factors that drive an expansion, as well as those that can affect an expansion.
It also reviews some of the tools and methods at your disposal that can assist with an expansion, including the expectations created by a Needs Analysis that ultimately drive and define the Value Proposition.

- Moving from BIM to EIM
- ARCHIBUS, Inc. – Boston, MA
- If we are to develop and deploy world-class total infrastructure and facility management systems (TIFM), we must embrace the opportunities afforded to us through the utilization of Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Enterprise Information Modeling (EIM). BIM techniques have been in active, funded development for well over a decade, yet their practical impact outside of the design and construction professions has been limited. BIM has had surprisingly little impact on real estate portfolio management practice or effect on the bottom line as measured by organizations’ enterprise resource planning systems. This White Paper looks at BIM techniques and adoption, and BIM’s successes and challenges. It then examines how the traditional BIM perspective can be extended using more modern enterprise techniques, such as service-oriented architecture (SOA) approaches.
