VFA FacilityView: Easily Share Facilities Data with All Facilities Management Stakeholders

Strategic decisions about facilities can involve and impact a wide range of stakeholders, including executives, board members, operations managers, department heads and finance leaders. Each facilities management stakeholder has an important role to play in optimizing budgets and leveraging facilities to best achieve the organization’s overall mission.

When these facilities management stakeholders don’t have quick and easy access to facilities information, it becomes harder to make good decisions. Without everyone on the same page, decision-making can be slowed and objections may emerge late in the capital budgeting process, throwing everything into disarray.

VFA FacilityView unlocks the value of VFA capital planning data for facilities management stakeholders across the organization. It provides quick and secure access to key information about the entire facilities portfolio via desktop or tablet. With VFA FacilityView, all stakeholders can have timely access to the facilities data they need to effectively contribute to the capital budgeting process.

“We can better identify and forecast when to execute our priority projects. We can also present reports to our Executive Committee, which better demonstrates the need for additional funding required to deliver our mandate to the University body.”

VFA Capital Planning Software includes a wide range of information about your organization’s real estate portfolio, including the location and condition of assets, the cost of capital renewals and funding needs over time.

While the capital planning team is usually the primary creator and user of facility condition data, cost estimates and “what if” funding scenarios, information about the entire asset and property portfolio can be valuable to a much wider group of stakeholders.

With VFA FacilityView, key facilities management stakeholders can:

• Find assets easily for quicker decisions. Search for regions, campuses or assets by name, or select groups of assets that match specific criteria. Save searches for easy future reference.
• Gain management insight with multiple levels of detail. See summary information about a group of assets, such as type, use, age, replacement value and condition. Browse an asset list and map. View details about an individual asset, including requirements by priority, category or system.
• View an interactive map for easy access. Browse search results on a map and go directly into asset details.
• Save time with user-configurable views. Each user can choose the summary content they wish to see and configure its placement.
• Access via desktop or iPad for maximum flexibility. Use VFA FacilityView on an Apple iPad, Apple iMac desktop or Windows computer with Google Chrome, Safari or Internet Explorer browsers.
