Introduction
For organizations of all types and sizes, managing workplace information is critical to improving customer service and driving down costs. MCG is dedicated to providing customers with expertise to ensure smooth and successful implementation and ongoing operation of their IWMS.
MCG FM’s consultants can apply years of professional facility management experience with IWMS, CAFM and CMMS knowledge to help define and maintain an effective project lifecycle. We will work with your organization to establish goals, monitor milestones and recommend enhancements and processes to optimize your investment.
​
Needs analysis
The first step in our consulting methodology is a thorough needs analysis. We believe that technology is only a small part of automation. It is the processes put in place to drive utilization of your system that makes IWMS a cost effective investment.
​
Our consultants bring years of facility management, real estate and technology knowledge to your implementation. We will work with key players in your organization to create a plan that includes your goals, establishing data sources and recommendations for the implementation scope and timeline.
​
Some of the information gathered during this step includes:
​
-
Evaluation of legacy systems and processes for space management, move, asset inventory, lease and property management, work orders, preventative and corrective maintenance and CAD activities
-
Brainstorming and determination of desired goals
-
Interviews with key organizational contacts
-
Recommendations for complete system implementation
​

Implementation
Once the needs analysis is complete – MCG FM’s consulting team can help guide your organization through the implementation process. A thorough understanding and execution of an IWMS implementation includes many aspects such as:
​
Data Integration:
A successful IWMS implementation should integrate and share data from and with different sources throughout your organization. This is accomplished by establishing the data source “owners”. A good example is the integration with the Human Resources database to get employee names, departments, and other information. The IWMS in turn will provide the employees location ID to the HR database. MCG FM can help you link the IWMS to other systems in your organization to increase the effectiveness and distribute the benefits of your system.
​
Database Configurations:
Although MCG FM’s IWMS solutions are robust and highly configurable systems out of the box, we understand that you may not have the resources to make the system integrate with your business process. We can work with you to configure the system to your needs to further develop the unique preferences in your organization. The inherent flexibility and scalability of the software design guarantees configurations will migrate to future versions, ensuring your investment will last.
​
Custom reporting:
The internal reporting engine provided within MCG FM’s IWMS solutions is ideal for generating a wide range of reports with its intuitive, flexible layout. However, we recognize that some organizations want to develop much more complicated reports. MCG FM can create custom reports by integrating with advanced reporting tools.
​
​
CAD services
For a fully successful IWMS implementation, a key factor is full integration of your facility and real estate information with the spatial data in your CAD drawings. The information in IWMS can be communicated throughout an organization in reports or color-coded floor plans. Often, these images help bring the facilities “to life” with concise information shared in an easy-to-understand format.
​
MCG FM can add polylines to your CAD drawings and link them to the IWMS database. This important step links the CAD drawings to the database and allows you to query both database and floor plan for any information. We will work with you to apply the correct space classifications and functional codes to your rooms and measure your space according the DFM, IFMA, BOMA or your own organizational area measurement guidelines.
​
Training
MCG FM can provide on-site training programs, increasing the effectiveness of both training and usage immediately after the class. Our classes range from training new users on basic IWMS capabilities and reporting to advanced database and systems configurations. For new customers, training covers the basic functions of the program and its modules and can occur before or after the implementation of MCG FM’s solutions, depending on the data set used. For existing customers, extra training for new staff or basic training for new modules installed can be offered, in addition to advanced training in particular areas or for specialized profiles (e.g. system administrators or power users).
Project management
MCG FM can provide complete project management services to help with all aspect of your IWMS implementation.
The team assigned to your project will be with you every step of the way, offering guidance and assistance to help get your system running smoothly and quickly. Once an analysis of the needs is conducted, our consultants can assist in managing your implementation by setting up a project schedule and monitor deadlines to help ensure a successful and on-time implementation. MCG FM also offers ongoing services for project support on an as-need basis.
​
Managed Services
MCG FM can configure and operate the IWMS for you using our infrastructure, ensuring continual availability, ongoing mentoring, and 24x7 support, while your organization continues to use and benefit from the IWMS. You have the flexibility to migrate to an in-house deployment or vice versa when you are ready.
