Heritage, spaces, services, maintenance and works, people's well-being and health, occupational risks, and sustainability collectively constitute the spectrum of elements requiring management in public or private facilities, infrastructure, or buildings—that is, the comprehensive scope of Facility Management. To enhance this management and foster informed decision-making, the crucial linchpin is data. As emphasized by Lluís Dalmau, the head of the Real Estate Management and Support Services Implementation Area of the Generalitat de Catalunya, "Without them, you have neither the capacity for efficiency nor improvement," and technology serves as the foundational starting point.

"Knowing what you do in a building, what you spend and how you spend it” is essential to be able to be efficient and manage resources better," explained the person in charge of Facility Management of the Generalitat at the conference “The importance of data in the management of buildings of public administration,” organized in November at the Sant Pau Modernist Campus in Barcelona with the help of the Catalan Association of Facility Management (ACFM) and FAMA. By Lluís Dalmau, he emphasized that “Facility Management must be aligned with the objectives of the organization and sustainable development and people.” During the event, he explained how the Generalitat uses technology to simplify and facilitate the management of the kilometers of buildings and constructions and the millions of meters that house their cargo.
