Why Are All CAFM Services Overpriced? In our opinion CAFM technology, the applications from which facilities management business decisions are based, should be a free technology since related technologies can really be found at little or no cost. Most CAFM applications offer users hundreds of reports, a variety of modules, and a great deal of functionality. Most users of CAFM systems only make use of 3% of the entire application. Most companies have a repository of data that must be reformatted to be imported into any CAFM. Companies that do not have any type of storage for business data really do not need an expensive complicated system to get up to speed with using CAFM Technology.
Is There a FREE CAFM? The answer is yes. The answer is xFM. xFM will soon be available from this web site. It is a web based CAFM system built using a GIS tool and able to integrate with any database or webservice based business solution.
