Stantec to Use FM:Systems' Software for All Implementations on Customer Facility Management Projects


RALEIGH, N.C. - April 4, 2007 - FM:Systems, a leading provider of integrated workplace management systems (IWMS), today announced that Stantec will exclusively use FM:Systems' facility management software for all customer implementations. Stantec is a provider of professional design and consulting services in planning, engineering, architecture, surveying, project management, and facilities planning and operations.

"With the recent reorganization of our facility planning and operations department, it was critical to implement a solution that was both flexible enough to meet our customer's needs, user-friendly and easy to learn," said Jackie Harvey, facilities planning and operations associate at Stantec. "Also, FM:Systems provides a level of service that no other vendor has been able to match, allowing us to increase productivity and focus on growing our business."

Stantec has been a customer of FM:Systems for ten years, first using FM:Space, then FM:Interact. The partnership Stantec has with FM: Systems customer support team was a key element in the decision.

FM:Space, a computer-aided facility management (CAFM) system, helps workplace professionals improve productivity with comprehensive tools for Space Management, Strategic Planning, Lease and Property Management and Asset Management. FM:Space is seamlessly integrated with AutoCAD, ensuring that CAD drawings are easily transformed into data rich facilities tools.

FM:Interact, a modular suite of web-based workplace management applications, allows organizations to access and analyze facilities, real estate and maintenance information in real-time. By providing accurate, up-to-date information, workplace professionals can deliver better customer service, reduce costs, and improve productivity across the entire organization.

"We are honored to have partners like Stantec," said John Chesebrough, vice president of sales for FM:Systems. "Both companies share the same focus - providing exceptional customer service and quality solutions."
