Ashok Prabhakar

At NIIT, facility managers work in tandem with the primary functions to have a clear perception of organisational goals towards using the infrastructure for delivering exceptional value to customers. The FM operates in conjunction with the top management, suitably tweaking plans to keep with the dynamics of market place.

Prabhakar and his team have a bird’s eye view of impending obstacles and they foresee problems. This helps nip problems in bud. Smooth incorporation of varying ideas helps adapt to the dynamics of the market place and a nimble-footed FM displays the right level of dexterity in quickly modifying themes. The undercurrents necessitate that the workforce stays abreast by appropriately using technology and equipment. Prabhakar keeps relooking at the training schedules and modifies this in consonance with the environment. FM Software is 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 comes in handy here. As equipment matures in its lifecycle, it devours energy, if it’s not properly maintained. Increasing the lifespan of equipment through preventative maintenance, proactive maintenance and properly tracking inventory and assets are ways these are regulated at NIIT.
