Minnesota State Saved $50M Dollars By Consolidating Square Footage

"We were able to replace [an] 83,000 sq ft building with a 23,000 square foot building. We estimate the cost savings at about $50,000,000 that we were able to save because we were able to validate the smaller building rather than the larger building."

Facilities Data Analyst, Minnesota State Colleges and Universities

How Columbia College Chicago Decreased Maintenance Requests and Increased Staff with FAMIS 360

“ We’ve not only been able to achieve our goals, but set new standards. Our goals before FAMIS were simply to repair or replace. Now, we’ve been able to achieve our target of reducing unanticipated requests by 80 %. Most importantly, we have been able to use the data from FAMIS to justify the investment in additional staff.”
