Organizations who are constantly changing, growing, merging, acquiring, redirecting and adapting to the demands of today’s fast paced work environments require a new way of thinking about planning and managing people, space and moves.
FM:Systems and AMS CAD + CAFM Solutions discuss the challenges when using manually created drawings with unlinked spreadsheets to try and manage Moves, Adds and Changes (MAC). Fortunately, there is a better way by implementing easy-to-use cloud-based facility management software with visual solutions that make moves much more productive.
During this webinar, Dan Lorenz, President of AMS CAD + CAFM Solutions, will discuss:

How manual static methods can easily be replaced for easier creating and processing of moves
How new hires, individual moves, group moves and offboarding can be automated to increase your productivity
How services and requirements for moves can be easily managed with move planners and department admins with drag-and-drop capability

AMS CAD + CAFM Solutions is an award-winning Premier Certified Business Partner with FM:Systems of over 16 years that specializes in consulting, design, and implementation of facilities management software and technology solutions.
If you are still using spreadsheets to manage your facilities, you owe it to yourself to attend this webinar.
