Project Profile
University of Georgia
Athens, GA
 Facility
Engineering Associates, P.C. was engaged to provide facility and infrastructure
management technology consulting and implementation services for The University
of Georgia. FEA’s first tasks included reviewing the strategic business plan,
organization process documents, organizational hierarchy, and reporting structure
of the Finance & Administration office and UGA Physical Plant (UGAPP). The purpose
of the evaluations was to ensure efficient and effective procedures were in place
prior to implementing new maintenance management systems. FEA staff then embarked
on a system needs and process analyses to determine the true facility management
and maintenance technology needs of the UGAPP.
The project required migrating
data from IBM 3600 legacy mainframe systems with a number of stove-piped applications
into a new facility maintenance computer database program. FEA worked closely
with UGAPP’s facilities and construction groups, information managers, university
architects, financial administrators, and all levels of UGA management. FEA drafted
and presented a strategic automation plan and technology implementation plan
including an RFP for which the UGAPP will use to acquire their new CMMS/CAFM.
FEA
developed a public relations and education program for the UGAPP to inform and
update all staff on the needs and benefits of the new system. We developed a
shortlist of potential CMMS/CAFM systems based on their needs and supported the
selection and contracting of a new system. The final phase included the implementation
and migration of legacy data into the new maintenance management system.
