Facilities Management Support
If you are a facilities manager, we don't have to tell you what a complicated, challenging job it is. Just keeping up-to-date information about hundreds, if not thousands, of facilities is hard enough. But the real test is maximizing your investment and keeping costs under control. To be successful requires timely, high quality data and specialized automated tools that help you manage every aspect of the business. Fortunately, Johnston McLamb offers extensive skills and experience with providing custom-tailored facilities management solutions to very large, demanding customers. We invite you to let us demonstrate how we can do the same for you.
| How We Can Help |
We provide facilities managers with IT solutions and services that are based on our years of successful experience in large, complex environments:
|
| Data Management |
Your ability to effectively manage facilities is only as good as the data you have available to you. And all too often, the data you need is inconsistent, missing,
or scattered across disparate, siloed systems. The same facility might exist in multiple databases, but with different names, addresses, and identifiers. Physical
characteristics of buildings reside in one database, while data on utility bills is in another database and data on leases is in a third. Johnston McLamb has extensive experience and success with large scale data management and integration. For example, one of our facilities management customers has over 600,000 employees and over 35,000 facilities. We provide a road map that addresses key activities such as data stewardship, governance, standards and integration across the enterprise. We ensure the integrity of data throughout the lifecycle of information within an organization, involving key stakeholders, establishing common standards for data, and resolving data errors and discrepancies. |
| Mapping and Visual Business Intelligence |
An interactive, web-based map of your facilities is one of the most valuable management tools that you can have. The more facilities that you manage, the more you need a robust mapping application. But it's much more than just seeing where your facilities are located. Interactive filters allow you to choose which facilities to display, based on any combination of characteristics you want, such as type of facility, size, leased or owned, and so on. Custom icons can indicate facility characteristics by their size, shape, and color. You can zoom in and out to see any level of geography, from the entire country all the way down to individual facilities and anything in between. View facilities by state,
county, congressional district, census tract, or even your own custom areas such as districts and regions. But viewing information on a map is just part of the value. Location-based queries identify facilities by their proximity to each other or to other points of interest, such as major highways, universities, post offices, or maintenance companies. See how many employees or customers live within a certain radius of certain facilities. Determine driving distances.

| Space Optimization |
Space optimization is an automated process for identifying properties that can be vacated by moving the operations and assets within those properties to other properties that have suitable excess space. Johnston McLamb has a well-defined methodology for developing a decision support system for space optimization that is customized to each customer's business. Johnston McLamb combines a visual business intelligence capability (showing properties and related data on a map) with a cost model that uses available data about the facilities and customer-specified business rules to determine an optimum outcome that meets the customer's business objectives.

| Lease Management |
One of the major challenges of managing large numbers of leased properties is to maintain an accurate, up-to-date picture of leases that are expiring. Johnston McLamb can create business intelligence reports that use graphic images and maps to show you when leases are expiring, where they are, and forecasts of when your peak renewal workloads will be. We can provide geospatial applications that use your data on lease market demographics to facilitate decisions on whether to renew, look for other leased facilities, or move into one of your nearby facilities. |
| Energy Management |
Close management of energy usage and costs is becoming more important every year. Becoming more energy efficient and reducing energy costs has both financial rewards and the benefit of helping improve our environment. In addition, there are federal mandates for reduction of energy use and increasing reliance on energy from renewable resources and non-petroleum fuels.

We can help you bring it
all together into an integrated, coherent repository.
If you have architectural drawings of your facilities, you can drill down to see them. You can even incorporate aerial and satellite imagery.
