FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
REAMS, a market leader in technical asset management, has extended its relationship with Bouygues Energies and Services (Bouygues E&S), having renewed the contract to continue to provide engineering advice and asset management technology solutions across its portfolio of facility management contracts.
Bouygues E&S deployed REAM’s ELIAS as its digital asset management platform of choice to support a business-wide initiative on asset management, capturing 1.4 million assets so far across 40 contracts. The solution has allowed Bouygues E&S to create model-optimised maintenance strategies and rationalised business capital expenditure forecasting across its clients’ asset base.
This blend of a cross-contract approach and the rich analytic tools provided by ELIAS has provided the Bouygues E&S executive leadership team with valuable business insights to ensure that their clients continue to receive maximum asset life and building availability.
Speaking of the renewed partnership, REAMS CEO Alistair Clements said: “We are delighted to enter into a long-term agreement with Bouygues E&S, enhancing our partnership with bespoke technology solutions to further support their business processes, and management of their client’s assets. Like so many of our clients, ELIAS becomes embedded within their operation, driving value and critical insights.”
Emmanuel Chautemps, Executive Director at Bouygues E&S said: “We strive to make our clients’ assets go further in terms of resilience, total operating costs, and carbon footprint. Our continued partnership with REAMS and its ELIAS solution empowers our engineers to develop great insights into the assets we manage on our decarbonisation and digital transformation journey.”
With the current economic crisis resulting in higher prices and more of a squeeze on resources, FMs need to ensure that they have robust building and maintenance services in place to control costs and reduce the need for emergency repairs. When it comes to drainage and plumbing there are also the challenges of dealing with extreme weather, from droughts to flooding, the need to meet stringent regulations and to avoid causing environmental damage.
UK drainage specialist, Metro Rod, has launched a survey which explores the main areas of interest for FMs in maintaining drainage and plumbing, including how they currently assess their supply chains to ensure they’re working with partners that meet the highest possible standards and provide value for money.
The results will be published online so that you can see how you compare to others within the sector.
The survey should take just 5-10 minutes of your time, and as a thank you, you will be entered into a prize draw, where one lucky winner will be picked at random to receive a £100 Amazon voucher.
