Welcome & Introduction

Trudie Jedynak & Chris Marsh - NJW Ltd

A welcome and introduction to the NJW VIP Assembly. Trudie & Chris will overview the events of the day, initiate the networking day and describe the various access areas.

Global Awareness

Trevor Wignall - Pfizer

Managing a Pfizer Global portfolio of 47 million square feet with a head count of 83000 is a challenge for any organisation. Trevor Wignall will demonstrate the Pfizer GO Facilities and Operations Portal implemented by NJW.

This website gives access to facilities performance data for Pfizer buildings worldwide. The database contains live information about location, lease information, square footage, capacity and head count together with cost to own, operate and service each facility.

The portal gives access to this data cut in a number of different ways - by Division, Location, Tenure and Space Type - and provides metrics to enable the user to make comparisons between the performance of chosen facilities, on the basis of cost or space efficiency.

PropertyConnections

Mark Lindley - British Airways

Imagine a Web based technology solution that integrates with all types of database applications such as Horizon, Maximo & Archibus/FM. PropertyConnections brings together British Airways business information into one, central location in a consistent format enabling Property & Facility Managers to turn their operational data into meaningful information.

Stakeholders can run reports in real time, so they know the data is the most accurate at the time. More importantly, there is only one version of the data, avoiding confusion over multiple entries, or which is the latest up-to-date version.

So if profitability and perfect performance are the three Ps we're all working towards, then business intelligence can really help reach that nirvana. It will certainly go a long way towards helping companies benefit from British Airways vision that harnessing information is the way to make a company more profitable.

Paper to Online

Keith Tabley - NSPCC

The detrimental effect of the credit crunch is not limited to corporate business but is also casting a shadow over the all important charitable organisations. The regular contributions from all market sectors are no longer attainable. As such, it is important for organisations such as the NSPCC to understand and improve their operational costs.

Keith Tabley will share his views on managing a multi located small to medium enterprise, the maintenance challenges, the need for business information and the introduction of (MIS) Management information solutions into a previous paper based environment.

The NSPCC has to work with limited budgets, donations and utilise volunteers but still enjoy one the most positive attitudes to Property & Facilities Management delivery.

AutoCAD 2010

Richard Willis - NJW - RWT Accredited Autodesk Centre

Richard Willis who is based within NJW Headquarters in Berkshire will unleash the power of AutoCAD 2010.

Using AutoCAD drawings we will during this session investigate the tools available that allow the drawing data to be extracted into tables, providing the user with linked information without the requirement of providing additional drawing information. We will also develop two way database links with drawing entities allowing the user to either select information within the drawing and call up the entry within a database, or select an item within a database and locate that specific item within the drawing.

We are a customer responsive, Industry focused training organisation.

RWTC Limited has over 18 years of Education and Training experience developing AutoCAD and CAD management training programmes to meet the specific requirements of our customers. As an Authorised Autodesk training centre it is our policy to provide professional training that meets the needs of the customers, attentive at all times to their specific applications.

Strategic Thinking Online

Nigel Warrick - NJW Ltd

‘Information is Power’ , but only if it is readily available. Nigel Warrick will showcase some blue sky thinking with 3d models through a visionary Content Managed Web Portal. The ultimate strategic planning solution is now readily available providing an executive collaboration mechanism for any corporation.

Originally designed and deployed within a major pharmaceutical, NJW have restructured the solution for London, Docklands to show how versatile it is for the open market.

Values & image, business plan, 3D google maps, planning principles, property type, organisation, property condition, tactical plans, budgets and stacking are all to be easily visualised within this demonstration.

More importantly, the whole solution can be managed by the iphone.

Autodesk Inventor

Richard Willis - NJW - RWT Accredited Autodesk Centre

Investigate the use of this popular Autodesk software to develop 3D models, Assemblies, exploded views, animations and working drawings. This software allows the designer to work from initial concept design through to final assembly, test and production of working drawings with a reduced timescale and with improved delivery timescales. Design errors are also reduced giving resultant cost and time benefits.

During this session we will develop parts, assemblies and associated production information.

Get Facilities for TRIRIGA

Hamish Good - NJW

The ideal opportunity for existing TRIRIGA 7 Users to investigate the merits of having a Web based front end for the traditional LAN solution.

Hamish Good will push the boundaries of how a technology ‘make over’ can easily be achieved, how the solution is refreshed, branded and shared to a wider community. The TRIRIGA 7 solution is still one of the most functional CAFM systems on the market but a Web front end is a cost efficient method of taking it to the next level.

The NJW development team have re-engineered Get Facilities for specific roll out to existing Users within the UK.

Environmental Sustainability Overview

Angela Hobbs - Plan

It’s in the news, it’s on TV, it’s even on your desk. We are all hearing about our diminishing Environment. But how many of us are really listening? Here at NJW we are already beginning to see through our thick global smog and sincerely believe that never is it little to late!

It is widely concluded that corporate buildings produce a phenomenal 48% of energy consumption and cause a vast majority of CO2 emissions. We are focused on the reduction of buildings` environmental impact represent the greatest opportunity.

Property strategies focused on the reduction of buildings` environmental impact represent the greatest opportunity to no only dramatically reduce costs and generate energy saving, but also to increase stakeholder value giving environmental sustainability purpose and productivity for large corporate organisation.
