System landscape
Why System landscape?
The shared knowledge base
for facility management
On the journey to reduce costs and optimise efficiency, expanding our knowledge base is becoming the ultimate success factor. In the midst of changing corporate structures and growing complexity, the seamless integration of all the necessary information is becoming a game changer. This information should not only be available at lightning speed, but also be reliable, precise and free of superfluous ballast.
This is where the visual information system CAFM (Computer Aided Facility Management) comes into play! With CAFM, you create a shared knowledge base that you can easily access at any time.
Why choose AIS?
Digital and up-to-date with AIS
AIS has an impressive network of innovative IoT companies that specialise in the digitalisation of property management. This enables us to guarantee the seamless integration of the latest technologies in IT applications for property management.
In addition, we have developed a standard process network that maps FM processes precisely and clearly.
Our holistic approach takes into account the requirements of processes, organisations, systems and data – always in line with your corporate strategy. With AIS, you can be sure that your property management is optimally digitalised and up to date.
Concentrated Expert Knowledge!
Our services in the area of system landscape
In a first step, we analyse the existing FM core processes together with you. With the help of the AIS standard process network, we derive the relevant target processes that take into account the organisational, data-related and IT-side perspectives.
Our methodical process model for defining requirements is based on an in-depth analysis of the organisational and process-related structures from a business-organisational perspective, with a smooth transfer to an IT-oriented perspective.
In this way, we create a clear bridge between your organisational setup and the digital requirements.
learn moreBased on the preceding analysis, we derive both functional and technical system requirements. At the same time, we identify and describe possible interfaces to the existing IT systems.
The business processes are analysed jointly in user interviews and workshops with the employees responsible for or involved in the processes. This not only enables a precise understanding of the processes, but also secures the expertise of established procedures as a requirements definition for the new CAFM system to be procured.
By actively involving future users in the decision-making process for the selection of standard software, we demonstrably increase the acceptance of the system. In this way, we not only design efficient processes, but also ensure that they are enthusiastically accepted by the users.
For the development of the system landscape, we derive functional and technical system requirements from the previous phases.
A logical data model and a class model are introduced, and by defining structural hierarchies we aim to achieve comprehensive IT support for all business processes in the FM sector.
We place particular emphasis on seamlessly integrating the target system into your existing IT infrastructure and eliminating data redundancies, gaps and inconsistencies.
In this way, we not only create an efficient system landscape, but also a smooth connection between your business processes and the IT support.
Based on the previous analysis, we can identify qualitative benefits such as information transparency, data reliability and risk reduction. On the other hand, we support you in determining quantitative, monetary benefits.
We present concrete, monetary cost savings, for example by avoiding duplicate data maintenance or reducing time requirements in accordance with GEFMA Guideline 460 “Economic efficiency of CAFM systems”. We put these in relation to the costs of introducing the system.
This not only gives you a clear idea of the qualitative improvements, but also a sound basis for deciding on the cost-effectiveness of your CAFM system.
