What is Strategic Planning Software?

Managing a large portfolio of real estate and assets can be challenging when deciding how and where to spend your limited budget. Which asset deficiencies need to be addressed immediately? Which capital projects are more important than others? Should you renew or replace your administration building that needs significant work? Are you budgeting properly for replacement needs in the future? These are the kinds of questions that facilities and asset executives are faced with regularly, and that Strategic Planning Software can help with.

Planning for your repair and renewal needs starts with understanding the condition of your facilities and assets, which starts with having a complete inventory of everything. With a database of all your assets, you can perform a Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) and track individual asset deficiencies and their severity. For example, it's important to know the condition of a roof, it's expected remaining life, and the estimated cost of repairs and eventual replacement ...so it can be adequately planned for. Sounds simple, but doing this for a portfolio of buildings, all their systems and components requires specialized software.

There always seem to be more capital projects than budget to tackle them. How do you decide which projects are more important than others? With strategic planning software, you can categorize projects, stack-rank them, and compare various funding scenarios. Furthermore, strategic planning software should help you select projects that are best aligned to your organization's mission and priorities. For example, projects that address accessibility and/or safety needs are probably a top priority, while projects that serve your organization's mission of better customer service to the community may be next, followed by projects that shore up infrastructure, and so on. Strategic planning software can help you determine what all can be addressed with the limited funding you have.

Periodic renewal and replacement of building assets typically represents 35-45% of the total cost of owning a building, which is a significant cost that needs to be budgeted for. If you have a large portfolio of properties, you ideally want an Integrated Workplace Management System (IWMS software) that can track all of your assets, their condition including deficiencies, and expected expenditures over future years so you can plan accordingly. An IWMS system with strategic planning capabilities can help you spend your limited budget dollars in such a way that best meets the needs and mission of your organization.
