Transform your asset management strategy

Local authorities face increasing pressure from managing complex estates to achieving challenging sustainability goals — all while dealing with financial constraints on the public purse.

One of the most effective ways to meet both current and future demands is transforming your approach to asset management. By improving service delivery, managing costs and enhancing the resilience of your facilities, you can better support colleagues, stakeholders and the thriving communities you care for.

Why transform?

Here’s five good reasons to transform your asset management strategy:

1. Strengthen your bottom line – By proactively managing critical assets, you can improve uptime and reduce costs, making your local authority budgets go further.

2. Reduce risks – By establishing a compliance and risk management programme you can manage your community buildings and workplaces with ease – making sure they are always safe, reliable and fully compliant.

3. Unlock operational efficiencies – By using real-time analytics, you can improve the performance of your local authority buildings. Extend asset lifecycles and make smarter decisions on when to repair versus replace assets.

4. Accelerate decarbonisation – Lead the way in sustainability for the community you serve. Reach your sustainability goals and future-proof your assets using innovative technologies to measure and reduce carbon emissions.

5. Maximise the value of your estate – Identify under-utilised space in your workplaces with sensor technology. With occupancy data at your fingertips, reduce unnecessary space or sub-let areas for local organisations or your community to use.
