Facilities Management in IBM Maximo Asset Management is now supported by FAME (Facilities and Asset management in one environment), a new development by MACS.

IBM Maximo Asset Management and property management has always been an excellent combination, for the so-called hard facilities management. In the area of soft facilities management there has been a clear need for development of specific features. These features can now be found in the solution of FAME by MACS.

This facilities management solution in IBM Maximo covers the following topics:

• Room Reservation
• Parking Reservation

It means that with this solution your reception or security services are also supported in their daily tasks. Importantly, it uses for example the self-service facilities available within IBM Maximo.
