The University’s Facilities and Services, Space Planning, and Real Estate Services have partnered to modernize their business processes and information technology solutions with a comprehensive, cloud-based Enterprise Asset Management System (EAMS). The project kicked off on February 28 and the new system combines software, systems, and services to maintain and control operational assets and equipment. The overall goals of the project are to optimize the quality and utilization of assets throughout their lifecycle, increase productive uptime, reduce operational costs, and use full institutional leverage to address opportunities, growth, and risks.
“Implementing an enterprise asset management system gives the University a centralized approach that reaches across our campuses and off-site facilities,” says Elizabeth Milavec, the University’s executive vice president for administration and finance. “It will bring together the work of our teams in facilities, space planning, and real estate, making it easier to collaborate.” To learn more about the project and stay up-to-date with its progress, or to join a committee, visit the EAMS Implementation Project website. Regular updates will be posted, including project milestones, timelines, and other information, to ensure all stakeholders are informed and engaged throughout the process.
