Executive Summary
For over 20 years, integrated workplace management systems/connected portfolio intelligence platforms (IWMSs/CPIPs) have served as aggregation hubs for various real estate and facilities management (FM) data and processes. Implementing these solutions is complex: they cut across multiple teams, depend on clean shared data, require broad integrations and can often be customized to meet specific needs. As with any cross-functional software implementation, these projects are full of challenges – both technical and organizational. This report outlines best practices across stakeholder management, technology governance and processes to avoid and manage these issues, and to ensure organizations maximize their investment through successful CPIP implementations.About the Authors
