Hagerman offers comprehensive FM solution
with CenterStone
Hagerman & Company offers CenterStone for our customers
who need a solution targeted specifically for facilities
management. CenterStone is very reasonably priced, easy to
use and implement, and is the number-one rated facility
management solution on the market by the Gartner Group.
Now, your organization is probably already using
computer-aided design or BIM software such as AutoCAD,
AutoCAD Architecture or Revit and performing some facility
management (FM) functions with it, so why do you need a
solution specifically designed for FM such as CenterStone?
-CAD/BIM software is mainly for design and can only do a
very limited amount of space management and space management
reporting for a single building.
-CenterStone can help you manage and track all of your sites
and buildings and do enterprise-wide tracking and reporting.
Organization management desires enterprise-wide reporting,
not just building-level reporting.
-CenterStone is a web-based application allowing it to be
easily used across your entire organization. Since AutoCAD
and Revit are desktop-based, it makes integrated
enterprise-wide usage and data sharing difficult
-In addition, CenterStone can address a much broader set of
users and totally integrated functionality, including floor
plan access, full space management, cost centers, vacancies,
move management, human resources, facility services vendors
(such as HVAC), equipment management, work orders, lease
management, light project management etc.
-CenterStone has a huge variety of built-in reports for all
of the above functions and a report generator that allows
you to build custom reports related to all of these
functions and tailored to your needs.
Although CenterStone can do all of the above things, you can
start with one or two areas of focus and expand in the
future. This can allow you to replace multiple point
solutions with a single integrated solution. While
CenterStone uses your CAD data, in most cases only about 10%
of the users of FM solutions are CAD users themselves.
Besides the lack of FM functionality, making everyone in an
organization involved in FM have to do it via buying,
learning and using CAD would not be feasible.
In many case, CenterStone systems are tied into and
integrated with an organizations existing HR and accounting
solutions. Also, some companies might get CenterStone, but
still continue using an existing work order or lease
management system for at least a while. CenterStone employs
web-based tools that allow all users in your organization
read-only access to the latest FM data, reports and drawings
along with work order/move requests.
We are very excited about what CenterStone can do for our
customers. If you would like to learn more feel free to
