The Facilities Management (FM) market consists of a large and competitive supply base, ranging from small "man-in-a-van" individual service providers to huge Facilities Management outsourcing conglomerates such as CBRE and Jones Lang LaSalle. These latter firms deliver greater value to their customers by bundling facilities services, such as janitorial services, repair and maintenance services, and waste management into an integrated solution. The result - Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) - has become a common strategy for organizations with complex facilities portfolios.

As I said to them, this is not an uncommon situation in today’s spend management processes.
