Track: Facilities
Authors: Stuart Rich

The Properties Division at Curtin University is responsible for all aspects of the facilities portfolio that delivers world class education to a student population of over 40,000 students. The Business & Technology Solutions Department designs, procures, deploys, and supports a variety of IT systems to support the operations and maintenance of the facilities portfolio. Experienced users of ARCHIBUS IWMS, Curtin University has recently integrated ARCHIBUS and several other IT systems with GIS with support from BRG, PenBay Solutions and the InVision product suite from PenBay Solutions. The new GIS integration allows users to better understand and manage aspects of space allocation, work order execution, security system alerts and parking availability and to make better informed decisions about how to optimize the performance of their facilities portfolio.
