Facilities and Asset Management for Higher Education
Facilities management is the biggest asset management challenge for colleges and universities. Higher Education institutions need to manage and maintain classroom buildings, dorms, dining halls, labs, athletic facilities, and HVAC systems across large campuses. On many campuses, buildings are aging, requiring extensive repairs and renovations that have been deferred due to budget constraints. To keep tuition and room and board costs down while providing a quality educational and residential experience, colleges and universities must find ways to optimize maintenance and resource allocation to keep campus facilities in running order. IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS), the industry-leading Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) solution, centralizes facility management for colleges and universities. As an IBM Gold Business Partner and leading provider of Maximo solutions and services, Starboard Consulting helps higher education institutions manage the entire facilities and asset lifecycle and conduct preventive maintenance to streamline campus facilities upkeep, creating a safe and fully functional campus environment.
