There is a growing interest in the use of AI and cross-platform data analytics to help manage FM operations.
Yet according to Eptura’s 2025 Workplace Index – rather than a dearth of platforms, there may be too many solutions available, resulting in disconnected systems that prevent facilities managers from making informed business decisions.
A recent Webinar hosted by FMJ brought together Brian Cooper and Sarah Kilmartin from Eptura, Simi Gandhi-Whitaker, MD, Smart Workplaces for Mitie, Heather Nicholson, UK Head of Facilities for Sika and Wayne Young, the FM at DB Cargo and Chair of IWFM People Management SIG to explore how organisations can create a better balance.
The discussion ranged from how FMs can best develop their capabilities for an informed approach to the introduction of new technology to the main areas of operations which could benefit from an integrated approach.
The webinar offers those looking to improve their knowledge of AI in FM with a useful primer of the most important tools; along with some useful insights into the impact these systems will have on the sector in the near future.
