Omnix International and FaMe GmbH strategic Middle East partnership to address growing demand for FM solutions

FaMe Solution to increase efficiencies across Maintenance, Asset, Energy and Project Management

Dubai, United Arab Emirates (prHWY.com) February 28, 2012 - Omnix International, one of the leading CAD solutions providers in the Middle East, has entered into a strategic partnership with FaMe GmbH, a technology and services company that provides turn-key solutions for Facility and Asset Managers, for the management of technical and commercial tasks in Facility and Real Estate Management. The move demonstrates Omnix International's commitment towards addressing key issues and challenges faced by the region's FM companies in today's economic climate, which include Maintenance Management, Asset Management, Energy Management and Project Management.

Industry experts have reported that the region's FM segment has grown to become a multimillion dollar industry and is rapidly gaining momentum in the region. Factors attributed to this growth are the continuing influx of construction projects over the past few years. The FaMe application is a 100 per cent web-based application that caters to the entire lifecycle of buildings, which consists of energy efficiency, reducing life-cycle costs, contracts, cost effective FM and sustainability. Utilizing a proven lifecycle management solution like FaMe not only contributes to effective management of the facility but also makes substantial savings in the overall operational cost and provides useful statistics to management.

"The Middle East region has witnessed a lot of construction activity, with major projects already completed and several others in pipeline. A large number of projects that were once stalled have already resumed operations. The vibrancy of the Middle East's construction industry translates to huge potential for the asset and facilities management segments," said Jitendra Deshpande, Business Manager, Omnix International. "Moreover, the present economic situation is putting pressure on company bottom lines, which in turn necessitates a committed drive to adopt new technologies to increase operational efficiency. At the same time, today's markets have expressed a demand for turnkey solutions that require services like physical asset labelling, setup & integration of RFID hardware and linking the asset database with AutoCAD layout plans."

"With this partnership, our focus is to provide technology solutions to building owners, in-house FM teams and operations & maintenance organizations of the region's real estate industry. FaMe is a leading technology developer for FM in Germany, and we are the premier Autodesk partner in the Middle East. So this partnership complements the strengths of both the companies in their respective domains," concluded Binil Kumar, Operations Manager, Omnix International.

FaMe GmbH is based in Germany and has over 23 years of experience in the domain of facility management. With over 350 customers worldwide, the company has a direct interface with AutoCAD drawings as also with 3D BIM models using IFC Standards. Its premier software offering, FaMe, is a modular software application developed with an open source and has over 25 modules based on the functionalities - giving customers the freedom to start with a low initial investment and gradually add functionalities over longer period of time.
