IWMS Consulting
Top IWMS, Real Estate & Facility Management Consulting Services
Moving to a new Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS) or upgrading your current system can increase efficiency and profitability throughout your real estate portfolio. Even if your organization is full of great project managers and IT experts, getting an IWMS up and running and making sure your technology investment directly supports your strategic business goals can be a challenge. If you need help in this area, or if you have questions about how an IWMS can help your organization, contact eCIFM. We offer IWMS consulting services to help you get the most from your system to streamline and optimize your workplace portfolio.
Top IWMS Consulting Services
Our decades of experience in implementing the IBM TRIRIGA® IWMS have enriched our consulting approach. Based on the systems development life cycle (SDLC) model, our consulting services go hand in hand with the first three lifecycle steps—plan, analyze and design—to yield better performance and suitability for your organization’s needs over the life of the system.
Consulting adds procedural rigor to technology projects. That includes considering what-if scenarios and defining outcomes, processes and governance in advance. This guards against roadblocks to your success, which may include scope creep, requirements churn, project restarts and unclear expectations.
