Mission
The ArchiFM Focus
With constant advances being made in application integration and the increasing ease of linking best-of breed business solutions, why try to build a "comprehensive" system so diluted it requires extensive customization to meet the business needs of the average customer? Graphisoft focuses on solutions for the AEC industry, and with ArchiFM fully addresses the core facilities issues. Our focus is to build a facility management system so open that integration with any other information component is as easy as possible.
Making It Easier
ArchiFM fully and automatically synchronizes information between your facilities database, external data sources, and your floor plans. Plan objects representing rooms, people, furniture, or other assets are tied to the database. If a change is made on the plans, it is automatically updated in the database, and vice versa.
When loading data or floor plans, the user used to be confronted with the time-consuming job of reconciling one information source with another. ArchiFM includes RealSyncTM, which automates the bulk of the data reconciliation process, saving days of work. The coordination of room numbers, areas (calculated or not), occupying departments, and moveable equipment has finally been made easy.
Bringing It All Together
Information about facilities is generated, stored, and shared across many corporate departments. Operating costs, for example, may come from corporate financials, CMMS systems, external vendors and landlords. ArchiFM uses the latest open technology to make it far simpler to connect facilities and other corporate information.
Facilities Communication
Today, more than ever before, facilities information is woven into the management fabric of the corporation. It is read, viewed, analyzed and contributed to by an increasingly wide corporate community, not just technically trained product users. ArchiFM has made it easy for people with little or no product training to quickly and easily run reports, view and query drawings, or examine any other aspect of the data or plans in the system or in information linked to the system. This can be done with the product itself, through a Web browser, or over a corporate network.
