Software for Leading University to Achieve Best Practice in Facilities Management

Edith Cowan University, Western Australia, has selected Service Works Global’s Computer Aided Facilities Management software application, QFM, to manage its estate.

With approximately 20,000 students studying across three campuses totaling 270 hectares, the Building and Services team has diverse state-of-the-art facilities to manage; from lecture theatres, laboratories and libraries through to comprehensive sport and fitness centres.

Russell Noble, Manager Buildings and Services for Edith Cowan University explains, “We conducted extensive research to find a comprehensive software application to manage our estates portfolio,” he said,

“With over 60 buildings and an asset value of $650m, it was important to select a trusted application that provided the functionality to meet our broad range of requirements. We selected QFM from Service Works because of its rich functionality and the comprehensive reporting that it provides. We have implemented it to manage our assets, planned and reactive maintenance and condition audits. QFM offers excellent reporting capabilities which the University can utilise to identify trends and patterns upon which it can base future decisions and strategy. As a University we aim to achieve best practice in facilities management and QFM has been implemented to assist with this.”
