What i s Fac i l i t ies Management ?

“Facilities management is the integration of processes within an organisation

to maintain and develop the agreed services which support and improve the

effectiveness of its primary activities”. - BIFM

‘Facility management is a profession that encompasses multiple disciplines

to ensure functionality of the built environment by integrating people, place,

process and technology.’ - IFMA

What i s Fac i l i t ies Management ?

‘FM covers these two main areas:

• 'Space & Infrastructure' (such as planning, design, workplace, construction, lease,

occupancy, maintenance, furniture and cleaning) and;

• 'People & Organization' (such as catering, ICT, HR, accounting, marketing, hospitality).

The first refers to the physical built environment with focus on (work-) space and (building-)

infrastructure. The second covers the people and the organization and is related to work

psychology and occupational physiology.’ – Wikipedia

Webshare API

• An Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of subroutine definitions,

protocols, and tools for building application software.

• In general terms, it is a set of clearly defined methods of communication

between various software components. A good API makes it easier to

develop a computer program by providing all the building blocks, which are

then put together by the programmer.

• An API may be for a web-based system, operating system, database

system, computer hardware or software library.

• An API specification can take many forms, but often includes specifications

for routines, data structures, object classes, variables or remote

calls. POSIX, Microsoft Windows API, the C++ Standard Template

Library and Java APIs are examples of different forms of APIs.

Documentation for the API is usually provided to facilitate usage.
