Facilities are transforming. They have been for a while, but the Covid-19 pandemic accelerated the process tremendously. The adoption of the working-from-home model over the past 18 months has made many organizations rethink their work culture and utilization of space.<\/p>\n

Seeing that their businesses keep running smoothly even with employees working from home, many are planning to take a more flexible approach in the future. In fact, according to a study by Microsoft<\/a>, 66% of businesses are considering turning their offices into hybrid work environments.<\/p>\n

This is even less surprising when we bring to mind that rental space is one of the biggest cost centers for an organization. Reducing rental space to embrace the flexible workplace and cut costs seems like the next logical step.<\/p>\n

While space utilization is a driving force for facility transformation, there is more to it than that. Aside from the flexible workplace model, the complete occupant experience and how people inside the facility can interact with it is undergoing change. At the center of it all – data.<\/p>\n

Data interoperability is key to success<\/h2>\n

The journey to successfully and sustainably transform your facility starts with data. However, the problem most organizations are facing is that their data is non-interoperable, e.g. pen and paper documents, Excel sheets, or thousands of records organized in tabular formats in an IWMS, CMMS, etc.<\/p>\n

The National Institute of Standards and Technology investigated the cost associated with non-interoperable data in the US capital facilities industry, which are estimated at $ 0.23\/sqft. When we extrapolate this to the size of university or corporate campuses, they can incur horrendous costs.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":1342342,"id":1342342,"title":"space assignment 1","filename":"space-assignment-1.png","filesize":159032,"url":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/app\/uploads\/2021\/09\/space-assignment-1.png","link":"https:\/\/www.esri.com\/arcgis-blog\/products\/arcgis-indoors\/data-management\/arcgis-indoors-and-facility-management-systems\/space-assignment-1","alt":"arcgis indoors space planner","author":"9212","description":"","caption":"Facility data is visualized on an indoor map.

Centralized data management and visualization<\/h2>\n

ArcGIS Indoors<\/a> is a system of record that visualizes your facility data on a digital indoor map which can easily be shared across the organization, creating a common operating picture for all employees or other stakeholders. It is an indoor GIS for facilities and workplace management that helps organizations:<\/p>\n
