Hosted fm solutions

The ASP solution reduces implementation and running costs and eliminates IT issues associated with installing in-house software.

How it works

Integrated fm hosts facilities management applications in a secure data centre. Clients lease access to the applications over the network. It eliminates the sizeable initial costs of software purchase and installation.

Lease fees are typically structured as monthly payments and can usually be met from revenue budgets rather than capital budgets.
