Net-FM is a name that INSITE has given to its web-based software applications. These applications would be accessible within your organization with a standard web browser: Space Management, Asset Management, and Indirect Cost Recovery. Net-FM's Space Management and Asset Management also includes features for Grant Tracking and Document Tracking.

A new Space Survey module allows space to be verified by the responsible organization using a browser interface to indicate updates to the relevant space data.

Note: Visual-FM™, View-FM™ and the ACADLink™ remain client/server applications. 

Some advantages of using the Net-FM web application include:

Load once – web applications do not need to be installed on every user’s PC. A user simply uses the standard web browser already loaded on most PCs. The web application is only load on your organizations web server. This saves time and the hassle of loading software for both the user and the IT department.

Open OS – no need to worry about what version of operating system is in use. A web application can be run over multiple Windows platforms as well as on Macintosh and UNIX platforms. The standard browser on any of these platforms should work fine.

Accessibility – a web application can be run from anywhere you can access your organizations Intranet – allowing for a virtual office. You could have access from any office within your organization and possibly from outside or at home depending on what your IT department allows.

Easy and Frequent Updates – a web application software release does not require all the “packaging” that a client/server software release would require. This saves development time and allows for faster and more frequent releases. You can always be working on the latest version of the software.

Minimal User PC Requirements – a user’s PC does not have to be the newest or the fastest hardware configuration available. Since only a browser is required, a modest PC will suffice.

Scalability – anyone within your organization, with a modest PC, a web browser, and access privileges, can access Net-FM. Anyone could run his or her own queries and get the information they desire.
