 Boston, Massachusetts, August 16, 2010 – Rome, Italy's Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino and Ciampino Airports' expected growth over the coming decades prompted their exclusive facilities management vendor, Aeroporti di Roma Group (ADR), to update its financial, real estate, and facilities management information in a major systems re-engineering project in 2009. The final results, say ADR's Dario Castracane and Marco Loddo, will be improved facilities management and planning, more responsive service to the airports' resident businesses, a better passenger experience, and enhanced regulatory and tax compliance, thanks to its investment in ARCHIBUS software. The ADR executives recently shared their progress in the airports' IT evolution at the International ARCHIBUS Users' Conference, an annual event sponsored by ARCHIBUS, Inc. (www.archibus.com), the #1 developer worldwide of real estate, infrastructure and facilities management software. Responsible for oversight of the airports' commercial retail space, infrastructure, planning, operations, and real estate, ADR embarked on the re-engineering projects in anticipation of those facilities' expected growth over the next 30 years. The airports' expanded terminal and runway footprint and upgraded facilities management, telecommunications, and financial systems are designed to handle a growing operation that is projecting volume of 100 million passengers a year, up from 40 million today. In addition, ADR manages those facilities' retail concessions and other needs. ADR will also assume a similar management role at Rome's new Viterbo airport in the near future. ADR incorporates the latest Web-based version of ARCHIBUS software, the GDS McDonnell Douglas Geographic Information System for building/infrastructure mapping, Autodesk, SAP and other systems—all of which allowed the ADR team to create optimal process efficiency and data-sharing, platform/business integration, and data normalization. ARCHIBUS Space Management, for example, was a key application for chargeback calculation and building management. Airport tax registry and regulatory accounting, and concession management functions were also implemented in ARCHIBUS, as was the storage of 50,000 drawings. "The main results currently," reports Loddo, "include up to 30% savings in data collection, management and updates on our retail concessions and other spaces, plus as much as 80% savings on data calculation and updates for our regulatory accounting responsibilities. We also have better overall control of our expanding airport footprint which, over the last few decades, has grown from 1,600 hectares (approximately 4,000 acres) to more than 20,000 hectares (49,000 acres) of land comprising more than 1.25 million sq. meters (12.5 million square feet) of building space under management." Future plans include the addition of ARCHIBUS Personnel & Occupancy, Furniture & Asset Management, Telecommunications & Cable Management, Fleet Management, Move Management, Health & Safety Management, Reservations Management, and Strategic Master Planning applications.
