About ARCHIBUS/FM Project Management
ARCHIBUS/FM Project Management was released in October of 2005. The application is available in FM Web Central Version 15. Other new applications available in FM Web Central include Capital Budgeting and Move Management.

Designed from the owner's viewpoint, ARCHIBUS/FM Project Management helps keep projects on schedule and within budget. It creates a central repository for a "top-down" perspective of program and project priorities, actions, and costs. Powerful analytic views can summarize the details from hundreds of projects in one convenient matrix. In addition, the product tracks property acquisition, renovation, construction, condition assessment, and move projects in one integrated view so users can coordinate interrelated tasks and timelines from different departments, disciplines, and sites.

ARCHIBUS/FM Project Management facilitates a collaborative process, allowing project members to synchronize information at different locations and organizations. It also streamlines project oversight via consolidated views that display milestones, tasks, and status changes. Granting all team members enterprise-access to project data simplifies communication and reduces the administrative burden. Clear, weighted performance scorecard views of multiple programs and/or projects let users identify late or over-budget components that are not measuring up to benchmarked standards.
