How CMMS Adds Real Value in Facility Management | Connected FM Podcast
In this episode of Connected FM, host Dean Stanberry sits down with Melissa Kaan, Founder & CEO of NOVA IFM, to explore how facility teams can use CMMS platforms to drive smarter operational and capital decisions. They discuss the importance of quality data, why CMMS systems should function as decision engines rather than digital filing cabinets and how proactive maintenance strategies can improve response times, compliance and long-term asset performance. Melissa also shares practical insights on asset management, technician engagement, data governance and translating operational trends into meaningful capital planning conversations. The conversation highlights how facility leaders can improve CMMS adoption, strengthen reporting practices and use data more effectively to support both daily operations and long-term portfolio planning.
