CAFM/Estates Systems

About

The current Estates management system (WREN) is approaching the end of its useful life and there is an opportunity to introduce a new, more robust, system.

There are a number of business critical University services that run through the system, including managing our buildings, scheduling and logging essential building maintenance as well as supporting critical health and safety processes, data and security operations.

This project, with a budget of around £1m, aims to reduce the risk of system failure by replacing WREN with a modern CAFM system.
