What's New in ARCHIBUS V20.2: New Business Applications

ARCHIBUS V20.2 offers the following new applications:

Compliance Management

Property and facilities professionals must comply with an often bewildering array of regulations. Permits for construction, occupancy, underground tanks and elevators, filings for the European Accessibility Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Clean Air Act, and the Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasures rule; zoning regulations and meetings -- all these regulations occur on different schedules yet have exacting requirements. A single missed deadline can delay construction or occupancy and cause far-reaching consequences within an organization.

The ARCHIBUS Compliance Management application helps you define regulation programs and initiatives and manage the tasks, notifications, and documents you need to ensure compliance with regulatory strictures.

Reservations Plugin for Microsoft Outlook®

Building occupants often use Microsoft Outlook to schedule meetings and invite attendees, and then want to reserve meeting rooms and other resources, such as projectors or catering, within ARCHIBUS.

The new Reservations Plugin allows the entire staff to work directly in Microsoft Outlook to add a reservation for a conference room or other meeting place using ARCHIBUS Reservations..  The Plugin finds rooms available at the same time as the appointment, and lets the meeting initiator view an interactive floor plan that zooms to that room's location. One click launches the full ARCHIBUS Reservations dialog for adding other resources. If you update an appointment in Outlook, with an action such as drag-and-drop to a new day, the Plugin updates the corresponding room and resource reservation in the ARCHIBUS Reservations application.
