Intelligently Connecting with Issues on Facilities through Insights

As the new technologies keep unfolding and facilities users’ needs changing, companies in facility management industry are being put on their toes to deliver value added solutions. Clients are not leaving any stone unturned on the need for FM companies to offer value added solutions. Both individuals and businesses want an accurate and deep understanding of issues or problems discovered by FM companies on electrical, mechanical and other essential facilities for operational activities.

There is a need to generate concrete insights towards the provision of the right solutions. The insights should guide in selecting appropriate solutions not the problems leading to solution choice. Facilities managers will appreciate a company that generates specific intelligence on issues affecting their facilities than a company which gives only inspection report in qualitative terms instead of both qualitative and quantitative ones.

Companies that develop insights are most likely to solve problems on facilities analytically, proceeding through the problem using step-by-step approach.  For instance, specific insights must be generated from Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning discovered to have critical problems on electrical parts. 

Clients should be informed of the identified failures using appropriate data analytics and visualization.  By 2020, companies that incorporate insights into inspection and solutions provision in 2018 to 2019 will gain competitive advantages when Lagos will have two smart cities.
