“It has given us visibility into many areas we didn’t previously have. We can now track device warranties, depreciation, work being performed on specific assets, including the ability to track parts
being used and the overall cost of a repair.”
Where technology and facilities work better together
One of the strongest themes in the district’s story is the growing connection between technology and facilities. With Follett Software tools in place, the two teams are able to collaborate more smoothly on work that naturally overlaps. “We can easily bounce tickets back and forth for infrastructure and issues that involve both our teams.”
That matters in real-world situations where responsibilities are shared. The customer pointed to projects like installing a new badge reader, where facilities may need to handle fitment, framing, or door hardware while the technology team configures the device itself. The district is also adding assets to Drawings, which will give both teams more shared visibility. “This will give both our teams visibility into each others’ key assets and their proximity to one another, making it easier for both teams to see potential obstacles or things of which to be aware when pursuing new projects.”
A connected approach that is built to work together
For this customer, one of the biggest advantages of the Follett Software ecosystem is interoperability — especially when those connections are already built in.
