The iDrawings® application has an easy-to-use interface; for example, changing the assignment of a room from one cost center to another can be done easily with a couple of key strokes. The system allocates rooms to a number of cost centers and the aggregation is easily and automatically completed. It can prorate the common areas among many cost centers if needed. The graphical interface gives a spatial view of departmental locations.” “iDrawings® has proved extremely helpful to me in other areas also. For example, it maintains a repository of all current drawings that can be accessed by my staff, whenever they need them. Additionally, we recently conducted our Statement of Condition survey in preparation for our upcoming accreditation inspection. iDrawings® helped us share drawings and Life Safety information among a number of stakeholders during this process. The result was a thorough assessment and documentation of our condition. Having current drawings greatly improved the timeliness and quality of our review. Overall, I believe that Indus Systems’ services, including iDrawings®, offer tremendous value to professionals managing hospitals and other facilities.

iDrawings also generates the square footage reports that show the space assignments for various departments and functions in the hospital. Before this system was put in place, we had to calculate the square footages from drawings which was extremely time consuming and prone to errors. With iDrawings, the space assignment reports are always current and available.

The facilities department is faced with the challenge of maintaining the hospital infrastructure so that our clinical staff can provide excellent care to our patients. iDrawings® is an effective tool that helps me and my department perform infrastructure maintenance and meet our reporting obligations.

Indus has been involved at the University as a facilities consultant since December 2000. Their work has focused on two major areas: · Creation of facility plans and space database; and · Implementation of iDrawings.com – an on-line drawings and data management system Their initial effort focused on creating “As-Built” architectural plans for 2 million square feet of academic space covering several campus buildings. Once the plans were created Indus developed a database of space utilization based on our specific requirements. The space database and the drawings have been integrated through the iDrawings.com system technology developed by Indus. The University has acquired a license to support up to 50 users on the iDrawings® platform. The system is being successfully used by a large cross-section of the user community. We are very pleased with the professional manner in which Indus has handled all the projects. Their support in implementing the iDrawings® capability in various University departments has been exceptional. We look forward to an enhanced iDrawings® capability to meet our growing requirements.
