UAE-based ETA Facilities Management is set to deliver a master class on smart FM for smart cities at the FM Expo 2015, the latest edition of the only dedicated FM exhibition in the Middle East, which opens on Monday.

On the opening day, ETA FM’s CEO Dr Hayan Sayed will shed light on modern smart technologies and latest innovative smart solutions that cater to the industry. He will also join other industry leaders in a high-level panel discussion scheduled on the same day.

Dr Sayed’s master class comes at a time when the GCC is ramping up its smart transformation initiatives and sustainability efforts to further accelerate the region’s growth and development.

His lecture will also focus on solutions aided by cutting-edge technologies and how they revolutionize the way FM services are being delivered today.

"Smart FM leads to numerous benefits for both owners and tenants. Our solution integrates crucial FM processes and analytics to help keep track of important asset information. Additionally, it centralizes and coordinates workplace management processes, among others," he noted.

Dr Sayed will also join other regional FM leaders in a panel discussion titled ‘Balancing Innovation, Sustainability and Operational Efficiency to deliver Real Value for Money in the FM Sector.’

The panellists will illustrate ways to reduce risk and performance issues through higher quality investments and the role of facilities managers in retaining tenants and increasing an asset’s value. They will talk about advancing best practices and international standards in the Gulf region and determining an efficient framework to monitor and measure standards and practices, he added.

FM Expo 2015 will serve as a platform for ETA FM, the exhibition’s Smart FM Sponsor, to highlight its capabilities and boost its efforts to position the company as a leading player in the region.

It will showcase its wide range of cutting-edge integrated services, generate new valuable leads and gain the latest market insights during its participation. The company will also take the opportunity to expand its regional and global networks by meeting with key industry leaders, decision makers, and current and prospective clients.

"This year’s FM Expo will help us to strategically communicate our key messages to our target clients. We aim to promote our brand as the only provider of innovative and integrated FM services in the region," stated Dr Sayed.

"Additionally, the exhibition will be an ideal venue for ETA Facilities Management to promote its full and comprehensive smart FM services in line with our commitment to incorporate the most advanced technologies into our services to attain the highest level of customer satisfaction," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
