Accendo®'s mapping platform enables users to effectively visualize critical
information on property maps, floor plans and other technical drawings. This capability provides a powerful
solution to the daily challenges faced by the administration, maintenance and security staffs at schools
and universities.
This unique mapping platform provides specific benefits and significant cost savings to the campus management
of schools and universities:
|
System benefits and cost savings
-
Increase operational efficiency by allowing the administration of different academic departments, engineers,
maintenance and security staff to assume greater responsibility:
-
A facility manager or single administrator is able to oversee additional properties.
-
Improve budget spending by allocating security and maintenance dollars when and where
they are most needed.
-
Utilize Accendo's notification system by reducing the time spent locating the needed tutorial and
other aids (i.e., projector, screen, computer) in vacant classrooms.
|
|
-
Utilize Accendo's notification system to inform insurance companies, legal departments and law enforcement
agencies of the status of any criminal activity on campus. Research conducted by insurance companies
shows that notifying an incident's details within the first 48 hours can significantly reduce legal costs.
-
Utilize Accendo's notification system to allow for immediate and secure access to relevant information anytime and anywhere.
-
Reduce the risk of exposure to liability and insurance-related expenses.
-
Monitor insurance and other compliant certificates.
-
Substantially reduce the cost of printing maps for daily use and for marketing purposes.
-
Reduce maintenance costs by decreasing the time spent on maintenance issues (asset information and related history are
always available).
-
Reduce the number of visits and time spent by service providers.
-
Track maintenance issues and work orders to extend asset lives.
Manage all types of space through an interactive campus map
Accendo provides a simple way for nontechnical users to make layout changes to maps and floor plans. Once
changes have been made, they can be shared immediately with any user having the appropriate access level. The
Accendo platform eliminates the need for an expensive professional CAD draftsman. Additionally, users have
the freedom to:
|
-
Retrieve classroom, computer and science laboratory measurements and other space-related information
-
Allow facility management staff to show campus drawings to vendors and service providers when working
on different projects and contracts
-
Analyze the effects of possible layout changes
-
Quickly color-code classrooms and laboratories according to a variety of parameters, such as class
vacancy, capacity, type of equipment, etc.

-
Relate classrooms to the courses offered, the equipment in each classroom and any other critical
information that must be tracked by school or campus management
|
|
Significantly improve the efficient handling of property maintenance and utilities control
The Accendo platform allows the storage of any type of asset: HVAC systems, utilities and critical valves,
street lights, live cameras, outdoor furniture, landscaping, parking, etc. There are no limits to the number
of assets that a client may track or the information associated with each tracked asset. The capabilities of
the Accendo's Assets and the Issues Modules include:
|
-
Identifying controlling HVAC systems with all of their pertinent information by clicking on the relevant zone
[show me ]
-
Mapping the entire electrical system onto the actual architectural drawings, providing an easy to
use map of the actual single line diagram
-
Displaying and managing IT equipment (such as servers and networks) over actual floor plan drawings,
thus simplifying IT asset management and maintenance
-
Quickly identifying the best camera that covers a specified area, as well as displaying direct
access to the camera system
-
Identifying needed street or outdoor campus light repairs
|
|
-
Monitoring the parking lots and the number of parking spaces allocated for student and faculty use
-
Viewing the repair history of any asset
-
Tracking security and safety related maintenance issues by:
-
Mapping the entire fire and life safety elements, such as fire loop, PIVs, sprinkler zones,
risers, hydrants, etc.
[show me ]
-
Illustrating and selecting evacuation routes that lead to the proper assembly points
throughout the campus
-
Tracking the status of access-controlled areas such as laboratories and equipment rooms
Identify dangerous incident and crime trends on the property maps and floor plans
While the levels of crime and incident management vary from one campus to the next, all experience incidents
that must be carefully managed to reduce exposure to liability. Properties that utilize security officers and
campus police have the ability to track incidents in and around the facility. This increases the efficiency
of the security deployment, while reducing the level of incidents and, ultimately, the exposure to unnecessary
risk.
|
The incident report module is designed to:
-
Capture incidents with any pertinent information directly onto the campus map or building floor
plan at the exact location where the incident(s) occurred
-
Capture and share information with insurance companies, legal departments and law enforcement agencies
-
Identify hazardous trends based on location, hour of the day, day of the week, month of the year and
other criteria to improve security and safety responses
-
Enhance compliance with various regulations, such as the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security
Policy and the Campus Crime Statistics Act

Analytics (Color By)
Accendo allows users to search for assets, incidents and issues that correspond to various attributes, such as:
- Vacant and occupied classrooms according to university course schedules
- Classrooms of certain size and/or student capacity
- Fire extinguishers with a service date coming in 60 days
- Slip-and-fall incidents and related injuries
- Vandalism occurring at night
|
|
All searches done using the Accendo platform may be saved for future use by utilizing an assigned color that
enables the user to identify these assets and/or incidents when viewed on the map or floor plan. This lets
users quickly interpret the completed search and make the necessary changes.
Enhanced printing capabilities for daily operations and a variety of marketing initiatives
-
Using unique vector graphic technology, Accendo facilitates quick navigation through detailed
graphical information. Any map or drawing may be printed regardless of size and at the highest
resolution possible. The size of a map printed from Accendo is limited only by the printer's
capabilities.
-
Layout elements may be added to a map and printed in detail for use with construction projects,
maintenance requests and with a variety of marketing initiatives.
-
High-resolution printouts may be emailed directly from the Accendo platform and included with
directions or other explanations. These maps become PDF attachments.
