frequently asked questions
What document management system does a facilities manager need?

First and foremost, a facilities manager needs a way of filing documents and folders that is...
Quick and easy to access
Simple to update and manage
Thoroughly searchable

The system should remove stored paper files from the office to save physical space, but also continue to enable the facilities manager to still maintain up-to-the-minute access to all of the stored information.

It would also be advantageous if the system is secure, with controlled access to certain areas. The system could also be set-up using the Internet to allow 24 hour access, seven days a week, from any location world wide. By backing up the data onto multiple servers, the facilities manager can rest assured that his or her important files and documents are safe and secure from malicious attacks or other force majures.

How will sds FM's system add value to the performance of a facilities manager?

The perennial question asked by potential clients is about the value in changing the current filing and management system to a new one? Many managers are reluctant to change, because of the initial upheaval. However, our systems are easy-to-use and can add substantial value to the performance of a facilities manager.

What benefits can sds FM's system bring to the clients of a facilities manager?

With an Internet-based solution you can have remote access to all of your files, which makes it far easier to present work to clients in other locations. Even a more simplified CD-ROM version of our product will be of enormous benefit in that it also enables you to bring with you important information to support the client.

How will you want to finance the service provided by sds FM?
