Abstract
 GIS-Based Facility Information Management Systems: An Evolving Success Story Track: Federal Government Systems Author(s): Avinash Srivastava, Brad Wellington GIS-based Facility Information Management Systems (FIMS) offer several advantages over traditional CAD-based FIMS systems, particularly in integrating land management (campus or site level) and facility management (building, floor and room level) into one package. This presentation will follow the development and success story of a custom enterprise FIMS built on a standard off-the-shelf GIS software platform and its evolution into a next generation web-based system. The presentation will highlight the importance of careful business process and workflow integration into system design and its benefits as extended product lifecycle and increased Return On Investment (ROI). Ideas on automated space performance metrics reporting, emergency and work-order management, space allocation and visualization, and practical decision support tools for planning and locating new facilities will also be discussed.
