Our technical team recently spent a good weekend break in “The Adventurous” Top Slip and Parambikulam. They were at Top Slip for few hours and in Parambikulam for the rest of the camp. Hills, tea gardens, huge reservoirs, lakes, Dense forest - pure jaunt.

Just letting you know they’re back, fully charged to cook a new flavor of FacilitiesDesk!

Cheers!!

Team FacilitiesDesk.

National Facilities Management & Technology (NFMT 2008) happened in Baltimore, United States from March 4-6. focussed on facility management which included both an exhibition and an international conference program supported by all leading associations.

We were all excited about our first tradeshow as FacilitiesDesk took its baby steps towards the IWMS market. FacilitiesDesk was one among thirty nine CMMS and CAFM exhibitors and several other vendors of Facility management sector.

“Response was amazing. It has been recently after our release we were very thankful for the great support and acclamations from our customers and many of our evaluators.” Anandaraman jogs down his memory lane…”Many organizations were struck with the CMMS products for its affordability and one day looking forward to have a CAFM in place. This is where we were trying to mark a difference by bringing out a CAFM @ CMMS price” he adds.

We look forward to meet you all next year too in Baltimore @ booth number: 1768. We will put our best efforts to make sure FacilitiesDesk is an ideal CAFM tool to manage all your facilities at ease.

Development of FacilitiesDesk for the facility management domain was an inspiration seeing simple yet sophisticated and affordable Softwares being used for IT and system administration.

There were three key hurdles spotted and the product was built around those:

• Prolonged desk research and on talking to prospects brought out the fact that there is a lot of Manual paper work going in for the facilities management teams in organizations of all sizes. This is due to inhibitions of the admin staffs to use the softwares unlike IT and system administrators

• All available CMMS though came up as a replacement of manual work were lacking in sophistication as that of a ServiceDesk and again the inhibition to softwares prevailed amongst the facilities management staffs

• The replacement for CMMS tools were sophisticated CAFM applications but the installation part was terrifying since it went beyond months. Also all CAFM softwares came with very high price

So when FacilitiesDesk was built care was taken to keep it simple, that even non-software savy facility management staffs will be able to use the system at ease, which eventually will negate the manual work that goes in. FacilitiesDesk is developed with all major modules of a Facilities and Maintenance Management like:

• Maintenance Management/Workorder Tracking
• Property Management
• Space Management
• Asset Management and Tracking
• Move Management
• Purchase Management
• Contract Management

So thats the making of ManageEngine FacilitiesDesk for you…
