Computer Aided Facilities Management - CAFM
Computer Aided Facilities Management, or CAFM, includes the tracking of a building's facilities, assets, and spaces using integrated drawings and databases. CAFM systems include live Open Database Connections (ODBC) between drawings and data. Key features of CAFM systems are the ability to update information on the drawings from data and vice versa.

Easy Navigation
Some CAFM systems include special interfaces that allow casual users to navigate through the data more easily. Terms for such interfaces may be called Executive Information Systems (EIS) or Drill Downs. An Executive Information System, such as the ARCHIBUS® product, creates a very simple scenario that is customized to fit the most casual user's asset reporting needs. It cuts the data to a minimum, and uses lively graphics to guide the user intuitively to the desired result. Our CAFM systems are completely customizable to fit your needs.

Data Drill Down
Data drill down is a term used by many software developers. It describes a scenario where information is retrieved using simple graphics or photos with click-able "hot spots", much like hyperlinks within an image, that will let you sift through the information to a smaller selection set with each pick. This allows the user to start with, e.g., a country, then a state,
then a city, then a building, then a floor, etc. Each pick presents the user with a closer view of the information "world".
