Ashok Prabhakar

At NIIT Technologies Ltd, the facility manager works in tandem with the primary functions to have a clear perception of organisational goals and towards using the infrastructure for delivering exceptional value to customers. The manager operates in conjunction with top management, suitably tweaking plans in keeping with the dynamics of the marketplace.

Col. Prabhakar and team have a bird’s eye view of impending obstacles, foreseeing problems. This helps nip problems in the bud. Smooth incorporation of varying ideas helps adapt to the dynamics of the marketplace and a nimble-footed FM displays the right level of dexterity in quickly modifying themes. The undercurrents necessitate that the workforce stays abreast by appropriate use of technology and equipment. He relooks at the training schedules and keeps modifying this in consonance with the environment. The FM software has been a boon in this changing landscape, with support in the form of asset controls and storage, inventory management, documentation and reporting, invoicing and issuing work orders, etc. Controlling costs is an ongoing process and energy conservation is key. As equipment matures, it devours energy, if it’s not properly maintained. Increasing the lifespan of equipment through preventative and proactive maintenance and by properly tracking inventory and assets helps regulate costs. Such practices have led to NIIT Tech Ltd’s being a healthy and well-structured workplace.
