In an increasingly competitive world economy, enterprises need to be able to concentrate on their core business without any distractions. This is why Facilities Management is such a growth area. Facilities Management is about understanding the needs of modern business and providing the services to satisfy those needs. It has a wide remit covering all the non-core aspects of business in order to support the core activities of the enterprise. However, Facilities Management in its widest sense is not just about maintenance and controlling costs. In order to support the core activities of the business, Facilities Management must ensure the smooth running of the non-core services through careful planning and management. Clearly it is essential that Facilities Managers take the time to learn what the core business is really about, as it is impossible for Facilities Management to become more pro-active without this understanding. The professional field of facilities management is growing rapidly worldwide, establishing itself as the source of strategic management for the co-ordination of modern business processes and support facilities. Professionals working in facilities management hold a broad range of constantly evolving roles, from fulfilling the operational functions of asset maintenance management to supporting the development of strategic facilities management for business advantage
