PowerPoint Presentation [PPT]

Summary:
The U.S. Internal Revenue Service manages a portfolio of 30 million square feet in over 750 sites worldwide. With a budget of almost $1.0 billion, the Real Estate and Facilities Management (REFM) organization manages real property assets and provides services to more than 110,000 employees and contractors who rely on REFM to meet corporate space and facilities needs.

This presentation focuses on the deployment of Move, Add, Change (MAC) functionality through the IRS’s Graphic Database Interface (GDI) System. The GDI System features ARCHIBUS integrated with ARCHIBUS Web Central and other Commercial-off-the-Shelf products including AutoCAD, and provides REFM employees access to accurate and up-to-date information about their facilities and occupants. GDI maintains location information on all IRS employees worldwide. This information is linked to the AutoCAD drawings for each building in the IRS portfolio. Key to maintaining this information is the MAC process, which links the GDI with the IRS’s legacy project management, asset management, HR, financial management, and work ticketing systems.

Learning Objectives:

• Discuss IRS's implementation of the ARCHIBUS Move, Add, Change functionality
• Understand the goals and mission of the IRS to manage location information for over 110,000 employees and contractors
• Discuss the organizational transition, change management, and transition management challenges posed by this initiative
