The application is particularly valuable for higher education institutions that need to keep an accurate track of their space inventory for federal indirect cost reporting and state coordinating board facilities inventory reports such as the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board report that is required in the state of Texas. LTS is differentiated from other applications due to its unique usage of geographic information systems to provide precision location of assets and infrastructure, to streamline building and room survey processes, improve data accuracy and to add powerful visualization capabilities for integrated facilities management.
?This application represents the culmination of more than two years of research and development at UTD and is now in production here at the university,? said Nick Valcik, assistant director of Strategic Planning and Analysis at UTD and the originator of LTS. ?We have been able to produce comprehensive reports and track a wide array of logistical aspects accurately that were not possible prior to the development of LTS.?
?We are delighted to be partnering with UTD to license its innovative software, incorporate it into our vision for integrated infrastructure and facilities management and to make it widely available for other higher education institutions, corporations and government users,? said Nicholas D. Evans, president and CEO of Emerging Foundations Inc.
LTS is a web-based product that permits users to track facilities, room schedules and utilization, personnel and employee time, contracts and grants and equipment, as well as conduct other space and asset management tasks, through a suite of integrated applications ? Space Manager, Schedule Manager and Time Manager. Further information about LTS may be found in the accompanying product overview.
