When it comes to FM, you can have it all.

If there's one thing we've learned in working with the Facilities Department at North Carolina State University, it's that campus facilities demand lots of paper.  As-builts, change orders, tenant agreements, work requests, and on and on.  Literally warehouses full of boxes of papers!

Searching, sorting, and collating all that paper is a nightmare without campus facilities management software.  That's where AERES comes in.  AERES eliminates the need for paper copies by giving you unlimited storage of digital versions of those documents.  By scanning your as-builts, photos, project documents, O&M manuals - or by requesting them in digital format up-front - you make available the wealth of knowledge at a fraction of the cost.

But documents is only a part of the campus facilities management problem.  The other part is work flow: how do you feed all your campus data into one system so that it's easy and affordable for everyone to access that information?

Since 2003, ideacode and NC State University have collaborated to extend AERES into the most comprehensive campus facilities management software package available.  AERES combines powerful Google-like searching with first-class GIS visualization over everything related to campus facilities operations: space management, construction management, capital projects and informal work orders, hazardous materials, and so on.  Fostering collaboration through shared reporting and fine-tuned access control, AERES gives people only the data they need while facilitating easy reporting.

We invite you to explore AERES and learn how its unique features will benefit your institution:

• Reduce plan access time from hours to minutes
• Digitally preserve every facet of your university
