Bentley Facilities Manager is an application for managing facilities in all types of organizations. It provides tools that enable a facilities manager to keep track of people, documents, furniture, equipment, and so on, in any/all sites leased or owned by an organization.

Bentley Facilities Manager uses hierarchical structures to store the data about an organization and its assets. All the data involved in this management task is stored in a ProjectWise database, and is referred to generally as the Facilities Management Model or FM Model.

Bentley Facilities Manager is a powerful Windows interface for authoring and maintaining all of your facilities-related information. Facilities Manager helps you turn facilities-related data at any level of complexity into a transparent set of current and accurate information.

Using the navigation options, query functions, and reporting facilities, you can find all information quickly and efficiently. Facilities Manager provides immediate and accurate insight into location, attributes, links to other assets, and document links. Whether used on its own or used to complement implementations of Facilities Planner, Facilities Manager will satisfy the needs of both casual users and users who require a task-related environment to support FM processes like Move, Add, and Change. Facilities Manager lets facilities managers initiate and manage layout and relocation projects that are subsequently developed further using Bentley Facilities Planner.

Note: ProjectWise Explorer CONNECT Edition is required before installing Bentley Facilities Manager CONNECT Edition.
