Show moreIn supporting the goals and needs of UCAR/NCAR, the Facilities Planning and Design(FPD) and Support Services(FSS) faces three major tasks, building maintenance, security, and facilities design. An important part of the data used in performing these tasks is engineering documentation such as Autocad drawings (a Computer Aided Design or CAD software), older existing drawings, related memos, related specifications in text form, and other non-graphical information about the numerous facilities maintained by UCAR. These data can be accessed by the Facilities Monitoring System (FMS) and it in return, provides much more data. In order to use as well as provide this information more efficiently, FPD must organize a database that is easily accessible by everyone in the organization but is not difficult to maintain. This wil l be accomplished with a database management software called Automanager Workflow. Show less
