in4 Team To Present at SRAPPA

The in₄mation team is pleased to announce that its members are scheduled to speak at the upcoming SRAPPA (Southeastern Regional APPA) Conference hosted by Northern Kentucky University on October 6-9.  The in₄ team will be speaking on the topic of CAFM (computer aided facility management) systems in partnership with Leslie Groesbeck, the Associate Director for Facilities Management at the University of Dayton. The session will feature a presentation and discussion about CAFM systems with a focus on the history of CAFM systems, common functionality across the various software packages available on the market, and the typical audience and use in higher education environments. Throughout the presentation, the speakers will present illustrations and references about the value CAFM brings to higher education institutions across the country. The educational session is targeted at individuals unfamiliar with CAFM technology as well as facility professionals with existing CAFM systems who have an interest in hearing how other institutions are gaining value from the information.
