| Kimberly-Clark Centralizing Global Real Estate Management Data Using ARCHIBUS IWMS Software Posted: 29 Jul 2010 10:03 AM PDT
 Boston, Massachusetts, July 29, 2010 – Consumer and medical workplace products giant Kimberly-Clark Corporation has a far-flung real estate portfolio that, until relatively recently, was difficult to manage due to decentralized property and facilities management information. That has changed thanks to the company's efforts in consolidating its North American facilities data and, now, doing the same with the information on its overseas operations. The worldwide roll-out of its ARCHIBUS IWMS software to centralize and standardize facilities information and processes is being spearheaded by Steve Farashian and Azariah Stevens, Systems/Technology Specialist and Facilities Management Strategic Analyst, respectively, at Kimberly-Clark. The RE/FM data centralization duo described their efforts to rationalize data management and oversight of the company's properties at the recent International ARCHIBUS Users' Conference sponsored by ARCHIBUS, Inc. (www.archibus.com), the #1 developer worldwide of real estate, infrastructure and facilities management software. With operations in 35 countries, the data centralization project began at the company's Roswell, Georgia facilities. Those facilities comprised 34 buildings and 2 million square feet of space containing 5,500 employees. That implementation was then extended to Kimberly-Clark's other North American properties in the U.S. and Canada, a portfolio totaling approximately 35 million square feet. The system now keeps accurate, consolidated information on those holdings, which include 351 buildings, 121 active leases, 8,300 acres of owned land, and nearly 400,000 acres of severed mineral rights. "Before we centralized all our real property and facilities management information, there were leased mineral rights we didn't know we had," Farashian noted. The Farashian/Stevens team used ARCHIBUS Space, Building Operations, Real Property & Lease Management applications, as well as equipment tracking software, as their foundation IWMS platform. "But to go global in 2010, the Centralized Real Estate Group has begun a database expansion project that will gather portfolio information for all of Kimberly-Clark's properties beyond North America," reports Farashian. His team, furthermore, developed a customized Web-based real estate GUI that makes their job easier by streamlining access to building, lease and other vital management and operational information. "One of the other big benefits of our IWMS implementation has been improved document management," Farashian points out. "We scanned all our leases and other documents, which were captured as .PDFs. We also have a lease contact management feature that shows tenant/management options and responsibilities relating to maintenance, landscaping and so forth. "We can now track and analyze all cost information using ARCHIBUS and its comprehensive reporting," Farashian adds. "Most importantly, the real estate group will finally be able to manage leases, properties, and other real estate-related matters in a centralized and proactive way no matter where those properties are."
