The leading supplier of CAFM software to the NHS has announced the launch of a series of White Papers aimed to help Facilities Managers survive the economic downturn.
Planet, a division of Qube Global Software has been helping hospitals and NHS Trusts to manage their facilities more efficiently for the past 25 years. Planet software is being used in over 150 hospitals across the UK. The first of the White Papers examines cost savings that can be made through Facilities Management.
In recent months we have had a torrent of bad news. People are reeling from never-ending reports of financial and economic disasters. Forecasts for the future are pessimistic. Businesses of all types and sizes are tightening their belts and preparing to weather a very difficult period.
In any economic crisis, there are organisations which survive and even thrive. One way they do this is by taking proactive steps to increase efficiency and cut costs.
Facilities Management (FM) can play a key role in achieving these goals.
FM has never been considered a glamorous ‘sexy’ profession (unlike investment banking, financial trading, financial management…. but perhaps we won’t pursue that topic any further!). The reality is that Facilities Managers have much more power to affect the profitability and even the survival of their organisation than most of them realise.
Richard Fisher, Divisional Director of Planet comments “The information and suggestions in the White Paper have been distilled from our extensive experience in helping organisations across all market sectors streamline and improve their facilities management activities and thus save money.”
Facilities Management presents many opportunities for cost savings. This White Paper focuses on some of the key areas where effective action can result in reduced expenditure.
