Key Tasks for a Facility Manager During Systems Integration Projects
By Rita Tatum - September 2008 - Building Automation
The active involvement of the facility executive is essential to the success of systems integration. It is the facility executive’s responsibility to:
- Identify the need for systems integration
- Determine the levels of integration needed
- Evaluate the benefits and limitations of various approaches
- Translate integration benefits into elements the boardroom can understand and embrace
- Remain part of the systems integration team during installation
- Stay actively involved in commissioning, maintenance and eventually recommissioning following completion of the new system.
