Facilities management application systems are often bound by budgetary constraints. This limits their ability to meet business needs and slows development by keeping management tied up on day-to-day operations, instead of concentrating on the company’s core business.

With CFI’s Application Service Provider (ASP) solutions, a business is empowered to choose a facilities management application system based on the needs of the business, rather than budgetary constraints. An ASP is a service firm which deploys, manages, and remotely hosts software applications for customers at a centrally managed facility. An ASP combines software, hardware, networking technologies and technical expertise over traditional in-house, corporate-run facility management applications.

What are the Benefits?

• Quicker Time to Deploy Solution
  Companies have historically required a disproportionate amount of time to fully implement a Facilities Management solution. The deployment of a Facilities Management ASP solution is considerably shortened due to an accelerated process and standardized implementation templates.
  
• Reduced Implementation Costs
  Companies have traditionally required an extensive investment of capital resources in addition to implementation / integration service costs. Further, staff training and support costs are usually high. In CFI’s ASP model, these costs are significantly reduced.
  
• Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
  Historically, companies have required an ongoing commitment of economic and technical resources to maintain and support the Facilities Management solution. These commitments are assumed by CFI in their ASP relationship, thereby substantially lowering the TCO.
  
• Increased Level of Data Maintenance, Support & Analytics
  Since CFI becomes an extension of their clients, ASP clients have benefited from an increased level of service than is normally accustomed under traditional IT solutions.
