The Province of Alberta, Canada is growing in population, prosperity and complexity. The expansion of the province in conjunction with a rapidly changing economic and technological landscape has placed enormous challenges at the foot of the Government of Alberta's Infrastructure and Transportation Ministry. Responsible for providing, managing and maintaining the necessary infrastructure to support Alberta's growth, the I & T Ministry needed to respond to increased and accelerating demands in several core areas such as land management, facilities and space management, lease management as well as more complex reporting and long-term planning requirements.

Infrastructure and Transportation wanted to better automate their lease and space management systems; to integrate and orchestrate BLIMS functionalities with their existing resident applications such as Lease Inventory, Lease Forecasting & Lease Status Systems; and to innovate wherever they found opportunities to do so. After a thorough screening and procurement process, Infrastructure and Transportation selected the FAMIS Workplace Management System to achieve their goals.

FAMIS, together with some of the Ministry's resident applications such as IMAGIS (Peoplesoft Financials) with which FAMIS is able to freely interface, is used to manage the entire Alberta Infrastructure portfolio. The system is being used to execute three broad business processes: Space Inventory Control and Management of Leases, Parking Inventory Management and Parcel Management. The management and monitoring of the entire life cycle of all Alberta lease agreements, from initiation to expiration, including integration with Receivables and Payables.
