Presenting FM to a Government Agency
Earlier this month, we received a call from an IT Department for one of the biggest government agency in town. They’ve asked us to do a presentation for them about ARCHIBUS/FM. This was a response from the local newspaper article that was published back in 22nd July 2006. The meeting was attended by about 23 personnel at one of their meeting hall.
After the presentation was over, the Q&A session raised a few interesting points that is clouding the public sector regarding data that they have. First of all, most of their data is in hard copy format and they are concerned about the migration from hard copy to soft copy. Secondly, the implementation of a new system would mean that they are required to adapt to change which is a hard thing to do when you’ve been doing the same job for years. Educating the end user is a great challenge and should be carefully executed with a plan.
After listening to ARCHIBUS/FM presentation over and over again for several times, I got a few ideas. If you’ve been learning about ARCHIBUS/FM like I did, you’ll probably know that ARCHIBUS/FM is a comprehensive software with so many modules and most of the time, you will overlook its capability. Trying to search for a simpler explanation will eventually results into more confusions. What I’m planning to do is I’ll break up the modules and try to configure how the software works and post it here in this blog. Hope that would help myself and our readers out there who are seeking more information about ARCHIBUS/FM.
