This paper examines the capital asset
lifecycle and discusses how the implementation of a project management
and cost controls solution (also known as a Project Management
Information System or PMIS) lays the foundation upon which a complete
lifecycle asset management system can be built. The paper covers the
stages of lifecycle asset management and how integrating a PMIS with an
integrated workplace management system (IWMS) or facilities and real
estate management (FREM) solution manages the full lifecycle. It covers
the implementation methodology behind a successful PMIS, IWMS / FREM
solution deployment, including how consultant and client teams engage
and collaborate during solution rollout. This paper also discusses three
real-world use cases utilizing the systems and methodology examined to
illustrate how organizations can quickly obtain maximum ROI from their
solution investment.
