Choosing ISM Services, Inc. to deliver your IWMS software suite will minimize Cost to Implement, limit Risk, shorten Timelines, and maximize Return-on-Investment. Our depth of experience enables us to swiftly deliver solutions that fit our client's needs, allowing them to focus on their core business.

Organizations have a lexicon of their own (names for things and places), unique business processes, a myriad of systems, as well as needs for information. For this reason, most of our customers require that we personalize their IWMS platform to suit their organization and use existing terms and process flows wherever possible. Personalization reduces the training required for personnel to become familiar with the system and increases employee buy-in.

ISM Services, Inc. helps its customers create an integrated corporate dataset by integrating their IWMS platform with the other Source Systems of Record (SSOR) within the organization. We are experts at integrating ARCHIBUS with most, major ERP systems. We create an integrated corporate dataset where each platforms data is maintained up to date real time, using the data from authoritative data sources, which greatly increases the Return-on-Investment, reduces the total operating cost of each participating system by reducing administrative and operational overhead.

From construction projects to simple renovations and reconfigurations, floorplans become quickly outdated. ISM services, Inc. can supply dedicated staff to work with facilities managers, designers, and contractors to manage drawing changes and make sure that the record drawings are kept up to date.

When an organization implements an IWMS system or a customer with an existing IWMS system brings new facilities into their inventory, the drawings must be polylined and linked in order for IWMS data to be able to be displayed on floor plans. ISM Services, Inc. has been performing this for our customers since we began operations in 2004. Our current inventory of managed space exceeds 300 million square feet.

ISM assists in the implementation of Overlay add-ins for AutoCAD, Revit, and ESRI ARC-GIS. These overlay tools allow the IWMS software to seamlessly exchange data and display data from foreign systems. As an example, utilizing the ESRI overlay allows ESRI mapping information and data to be displayed within the IWMS system and IWMS data to be displayed on ESRI maps. This opens IWMS systems up to new universes of useful information.

To maintain accurate facility drawings, periodic CAD surveys must be completed. ISM has performed countless surveys to maintain the accuracy of the CAD drawings for our customers to ensure that the IWMS floor plans reflect the most accurate information available. We currently manage over 300 million square feet of space for our customers and perform CAD surveys for a majority of the space.

Audits of space and occupancy are necessary to maintain the accuracy of the space information contained within an IWMS system. Even with the advances in technology that help automatically update occupancy data, manual audits are still necessary. These space audits can be performed in conjunction with CAD surveys or performed as a stand-alone action. Our personnel have experience performing these audits in facilities ranging from commercial office space to Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs). We strongly recommend establishing a rolling audit of all space within an organization.
