Relative to technology issues, I agree with the article in that disparate technologies need to be integrated leveraging the best possible approach that makes sense for an organization. Cloud technology offers more than traditional approaches.

That said, there is not, in my opinion and existing IWMS systems that handles all facility management aspects well in all functional domains – CAFM, CMMS, CPMS, and now … BIM. Most users will be forced to continue to integrate systems to effectively manage each domain.
