Concept™ is a family of applications with a common database, offering the fully scalable benefits of open standards and simple integration with a client's business technology architecture. Whether you are a single user or responsible for running a large FM operation, Concept™ will provide everything you need to fulfill your basic planned and reactive needs.

As your requirements change and develop, Concept™ allows you to upgrade and take advantage of a full, and constantly evolving, set of complementary modules, toolkits and utilities. Every aspect of the FM function is covered, from building management, room booking, health & safety, invoicing and stock control. Concept's system architecture closely reflects this emerging trend in client requirements. It allows contracts to be viewed in isolation with data accessible only to authorised users. This same data can be completely invisible to anybody using another area of the system.

Each Concept™ product boosts the communication of essential information and reduces the need for proactive monitoring, practically removing any dependence on system specialists.

FSI is an undisputed leader in the field of Computer Aided Facilities Management Software (CAFM Software). The Company's dedicated Windows software products span FM needs at all levels: from simple plant maintenance scheduling on a single computer at a single premises to client/server-based, total asset management and control for an entire multinational corporation.

The Concept™ SQL range combines comprehensive functionality with total flexibility. It interfaces seamlessly with industry standard databases, such as Microsoft SQL Server and ORACLE, and can be used on existing hardware. It operates transparently across networks, and allows existing data to be imported or exported. Concept™ SQL uses standard tables, so end-users can develop their own reports using the utilities of their choice.

Concept™ SQL systems offer a variety of configurations and modules to suit individual business needs. As these needs change, Concept™ SQL can be expanded and reconfigured with minimum effort to include new options and functions. Concept™ SQL is a truly integrated, flexible system that grows with your business.

FSI's latest offering is the Workflow™ module, which allows for the automation of business rules and processes. Available with Concept™ 500 and Concept™ SQL, the Workflow™ module is driven by an intuitive flow charting design component. This intuitive flow charting removes the need for development expertise, as Workflow™ can automate your business processes, by embedding the business processes and workflow into the FSI rules engine. Benefits of Workflow™ include process automation, business rules implementation and improved customer service.
