Free Webinar: Features Smart Facility Management with GIS

A free webinar on Wednesday, January 12, 2011, from 11:00 a.m. to noon Eastern standard time (EST) will provide insight into the use of geographic information system (GIS) technology for facility management (FM). GIS helps organizations implement smart facility management, which is vital to a well-run business. The technology helps plan a safe and efficient working environment, provides a means for measuring return on investment for an organization's most expensive assets, and offers a solution to help manage facilities through all stages of the building life cycle.

The webinar will educate attendees on how GIS is meeting the challenges that come with facility management, from site selection to project management and maintenance, as well as operations and sustainability. The one-hour session will present:

• A brief review of the facility life cycle and tools used at each stage
• A practical discussion on how to integrate GIS and FM into your organization
• Several real-world examples

There will also be a live Q&A session with GIS for facility management experts Stu Rich and Kevin Davis of PenBay Solutions.

The webinar is presented by Esri Gold Tier partner PenBay Solutions in collaboration with Esri and Vector1 Media.
