We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Facilities Managers", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Buildingtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Crown Trade gets Smart from Akzo Nobel, which we summarised at the time by saying "Smart Maintenance programme delivers tailored, cost-effective maintenance solutions for individual clients and projects". A few weeks before, we featured the news release Doors quality mark goes live from Door and Hardware Federation: "Nationwide Door and Shutter Quality Mark accreditation scheme for the repair and maintenance of metal doors and shutters has now gone live".
 
In October 2007, we covered the news from Touchstone Group concerning its Contracts Management Solution - take a look at New Touchstone solution for facilities managers which says: "Early visibility of the profitability of contracts need never again be a problem for facilities managers, thanks to Touchstone Contracts Management Solution (CMS)".
 
Take a look also at the news release from KNX UK, International standard for intelligent buildings, as well as New Fire Safety Sign Buyers Guide from P 4, and Energy as a strategic asset from LonMark International.
