Adrian Jarvis, director of FSI Middle East, said, “At a time when total facilities management was just emerging, FSI was installing its first system for one of the world’s largest insurance companies. Domestic and international implementation was serviced on-site, through the painstaking process of installing multiple floppy disks on every computer.” “Today, FSI is no longer limited by technology – they’re empowered by it. With 80% of client work now undertaken remotely, FSI has very much grown up with the FM industry, and they are incredibly proud to have seen the role of CAFM/IWMS in businesses become so pivotal to everyday operations,” he added.
Many of FSI’s core team has witnessed the role of a facilities manager evolve over the years, he said. What was once considered a ‘building basement’ career has transformed into a widely-respected, technology-driven field. he added. But, according to Jarvis, employees are “crying out” for more modern solutions. In a recent survey conducted by FSI only 50% of FM professionals agreed they were using the most up-to-date technology. “At a time when the AI of Alexa is embedded into our home-life, there’s no reason for the workplace to get left behind. When companies are ready to take the leap, we will be there to accommodate them,” said Jarvis.
