RALEIGH, NC – September 15, 2009 –
FM:Systems, a leading provider of integrated workplace management systems (IWMS) and computer-aided facility management (CAFM) software, today announced its partnership with
CADD Microsystems, Inc. (CMI), a premier solutions provider in civil engineering, building architecture, federal government, and state and local government. The partnership enables CMI to offer its clients FM:Systems facility management products to deliver better customer service, reduce costs, and improve the productivity of their entire organization.

The partnership enables CMI to offer its customers the FM:Systems FM:Interact Workplace Management Suite, featuring an intuitive interface to provide quick and easy access to key facilities information such as floor plans, reports, employee information and critical documents. In addition, CMI is incorporating FM:Systems into its training center, offering facility management courses to the public this September.
