A33: Asset Management at HUD in 50 States Made Easy


Files:
PowerPoint Presentation [PPT]

Summary:
The Office of Administration and Management Services (OAMS) at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is responsible for managing and maintaining all of HUD’s property and capital assets. HUD's Property and Space Portfolio includes the HUD Headquarters building in Washington, D.C. and at least one local office in every state as well as in Washington, DC, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. HUD implemented the Facilities Integrated Resource Management System (FIRMS) using ARCHIBUS as its underlying engine in order to more effectively manage the agency’s assets.

This presentation will focus on how FIRMS allows HUD staff to perform necessary business functions more efficiently as well as easily access and share information across the organization and the country. FIRMS also ensures that HUD is able to comply with any federal government initiatives or reporting requirements for real property and other assets.

Learning Objectives:

• How FIRMS ARCHIBUS is being used to more effectively manage assets at HUD
• Evaluating the challenges in implementing an agency-wide enterprise system
• Best practices in deploying FIRMS to complete Government initiatives and reporting requirements
