What Is CAFM?
Computer-Aided Facility Management (CAFM) Systems are software packages designed to help you manage your facilities—including buildings, people, and assets. CAFM systems are visually oriented and include the utilization of facility drawings. The software enables you to collect information in a central database, use the data and drawings for day-to-day operations and long-term planning, and access the reports you need to improve facility management.

Facilities using CAFM systems include:

• corporations
• universities
• property management groups
• cities and counties
• real estate
• financial institutions
