PowerPoint Presentation [PPT]
Summary:
Paschi Gestioni Immobiliari (PGI), owned by the Italian Banking Group Monte dei Paschi di Siena, manages 2.5 million square meters (over 26.9 million square feet) of real estate, providing facility services to 2,100 bank branches. About a year ago, PGI launched a reengineering project of its facility processes, implementing ARCHIBUS, in order to achieve the efficiency and optimization targets foreseen in the 2006-2009 strategic plan, as well as meet the compliance prescriptions of Basil II regarding risk management.
The use of ARCHIBUS enables PGI to both utilize new and more appropriate functions for managing the primary operational processes and automate the existing manual processes, by:
- Centralizing fundamental asset information in only one database (ARCHIBUS Space Management), eliminating all the various and unaligned data sources once managed through different and stand-alone applications
- Introducing cost management approaches and principles, through the use of the annual real estate Master Plan, based on each specific cost center (ARCHIBUS Capital Planning)
- Analyzing, planning, and executing extraordinary project requests originated by end-users (ARCHIBUS Project Management)
- Managing the restructuring/construction of new branches (ARCHIBUS Project Management); by the year 2009 PGI is planning to open 153 new branches and move another 50.
Additionally, the ARCHIBUS implementation project includes the integration with ERP systems (in both their market and custom versions) in order to manage the complete accounting cycle through a specific on-line Web-services interface. The expected outcome is a significant increase in internal process efficiency, given by a better service provider response time and a 20% decrease in staff.
Learning Objectives:
- Using the real estate Master Plan to introduce cost management approaches
- Managing complex restructuring/construction of projects
- Integrating ARCHIBUS with ERP systems through specific Web services
