关于客户
The Calgary Board of Education (CBE) is responsible for managing 225 schools in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, serving over 107,000 students. With an annual operating budget of $1 billion, the CBE oversees approximately 15 million square feet of educational facilities. The CBE's mission is to provide high-quality education, and they recognize that efficient facility management is crucial to achieving this goal. The CBE has been using ARCHIBUS since 2006 to build a comprehensive, data-driven, integrated, and scalable system to streamline processes and improve services. The CBE's efforts contribute significantly to Calgary's reputation as one of the most livable cities in the world.
挑战
The Calgary Board of Education (CBE) faced significant challenges in managing their extensive facilities, which include 225 schools and serve over 107,000 students. The primary issues were the inefficiency of their paper-driven work order process, which could take up to three and a half weeks to complete, and the need to consolidate numerous rogue databases and applications into a single, efficient system. Additionally, the CBE needed to improve space utilization reporting, hazardous materials inventory, and overall facility management to support their educators in delivering quality education.
解决方案
To address their challenges, the CBE implemented ARCHIBUS as their technology cornerstone, aiming to consolidate all rogue databases and applications into a single strategic-level enterprise system. This system improved efficiency through greater automation, reducing the work order process time from three and a half weeks to just three days, with plans to make it instantaneous using mobile technology. The CBE also deployed space drawings online using Web Central, adopted CAD standards for new construction, and completed a hazardous materials inventory for all buildings. Additionally, the CBE introduced bar code tagging of building assets and leveraged ARCHIBUS applications and Web Central to collect inventory information on various educational equipment. The creation of a Technology Council in 2011 further supported the CBE's efforts by developing a technology roadmap to rationalize over 400 distinct IT systems and point solutions. The CBE also integrated ARCHIBUS Energy Management and the facilities reservation system with the City of Calgary's central IT system, enhancing service delivery and raising the IWMS department's profile.

Case Study
IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

Edinburgh Napier University streamlines long-distance learning with Cisco WebEX
• Geographically dispersed campus made in-person meetings costly and inconvenient.• Distance-learning programs in Malaysia, India, and China required dependable, user-friendly online tools to maximize interaction in collaborative workspaces.• Virtual learning environment required a separate sign-in process, resulting in a significant administrative burden for IT staff and limited adoption of collaboration technology.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
