Visual Infrastructure Management Solutions: The Next Generation of CAFM Systems
Track: New Technology and System Integration
Author(s): Hans Werner Eirich

Innovative Corporate Real Estate Management concepts and decisions require not just a CAFM system but an integrated solution covering both leading GIS technology and solutions offered by Esri and also robust, well-proven ERP solutions and Building Automation systems. The presentation explains the notion and concept of Visual Infrastructure Management using practical examples from the CREM and FM sectors. It will first point out encouraging experiences then present live VIM concepts based on integrated solutions inside the corporation. In addition to organizational, process related or methodological issues, the presentation will concentrate on the integration into existing IT environments such as ERP, Building Automation, or GIS. Having a much longer history of practical use and a far broader world-wide install base as opposed to CAFM solutions, GIS applications from Esri, as the world's leading GIS technology supplier, have paved the way to introduce VIM solutions into CREM and Facilities Management, above all in the Public Sector.
