    For more than three decades, Mr. Forbes has been involved with environmental and sustainable development issues

    and programs such as educating design and construction professionals about green buildings and energy management.

    Early in his career (1976), while he was an Institute Scholar at the American Institute of Architects headquarters in

    Washington, D.C., Mr. Forbes worked on some of the original AIA Energy Management Programs. Under

    Mr. Forbes direction, ARCHIBUS was the first software developer in the world to create an Environmental Sustainability application which utilizes balanced scorecard metrics. In 2002, Mr. Forbes was asked to participate in

    the World Summit in Johannesburg, as a plenary chair for the UNEPs Sustainability of the Built Environment initiatives. More recently Mr. Forbes has worked to create the worlds first cloud-based RE/IM/FM offerings, the worlds 1st comprehensive total environmental asset management system (TEAMS), the worlds first RE/IM/FM Mobile offerings, and the worlds first Green RFID Enterprises.

    During his inauguration as an IFMA Fellow, Mr. Forbes was cited as being the Father of Computer Aided Facilities Management. For more than 30 years, Mr. Forbes has been the worlds leading automation pioneer, visionary and pundit for the architecture, engineering, construction, real estate, infrastructure, and facility management professions.

    With over 300 patents and copyrights, Mr. Forbes has been involved in creating many of the worlds 1st and best technologies, best practices, standards, and benchmarks. Some of most remarkable of the inventions and/or creations

    include the worlds 1st:

    Computer Aided Facility Management (CAFM) systems 1982

    Artificial Intelligence Based Expert System for facilities management (AIBES/FM) - 1985

    Computer Integrated Facility Management (CIFM) enterprises 1989

    The worlds first commercially available Integrated Workplace Management Systems offerings 1994

    Building Information Management (BIM) systems for FM - 1995

    Facilities Management Cyberspace (FM Cyberspace) universes 1995

    Enterprise Information Management (EIM) systems - 1999

    Total Infrastructure and Facilities Management (TIFM) solutions 1999

    Green RFID Enterprises (Green RFID) - 2000

    Ubiquitous Environmental Sustainability (UES) enterprises 2002

    Ubiquitous Infrastructure and Facilities Management (UIFM) enterprises 2002

    Intuitive Business Transformation (IBT) environments 2006

    Real Time Location Visualization Systems (RTLVS) - 2009

    Still in use throughout the world, CAFM, CIFM, VIM, IWMS, FM Cyberspace and IFM Cyberspace and TIFM

    offerings have served as great point solutions and are currently considered to be pivotal legacy systems for those

    organizations that have started their deployment of Intuitive Business Transformation enabled TIFM Enterprises (which are considered to represent the most advanced state of real estate, infrastructure and facilities automation).

    During the next few years, the products and services associated with the IBT enabled TIFM automation market will continue their dramatic growth. By 2016, the global market for such solutions is expected to exceed $12 Billion

    (U.S.). With Intuitive Business Transformation (IBT), TIFM systems are now often enterprise-wide mission critical

    deployments, making the providers and integrators indispensable partners to their clients.

    Mr. Forbes was a co-founder of the International Alliance for Interoperability (IAI), the worlds advocate for Building Information Modeling (BIM). Mr. Forbes advocates the creation and utilization of the natural extensions to

    BIM such as Enterprise Information Modeling (EIM) and Intuitive Business Transformations (IBT).

    In 2008, Mr. Forbes was identified as a Pioneer, Visionary, Industry Pundit, and Father of Real Estate, Infrastructure and Facilities Management Automation Solutions and was inducted into the International Facility Management Associations (IFMA) College of Fellows.

    Typical Discussion Areas as related to Real Estate, Infrastructure and Facilities Management Automation as a

    Value-Driven Enabler for Green Smart Buildings, Environmental Sustainability and Intelligent Cities

    Typically, presentations by Mr. Bruce K. Forbes focus on the rapid and successful integration of world-class

    ARCHIBUS Technologies with legacy systems and information silos based on 30 years experience and the global

    best practices and benchmarks of over 4,000,000 users. Presentations by Mr. Forbes typically provide a crash course

    for real estate, infrastructure and facility professionals looking to implement CAFM systems, IWMS offerings, TIFM

    solutions and/or UIFM Enterprises. Collectively such systems are called real estate, infrastructure and facilities management (IFM) solutions.

    The goal of Mr. Forbes presentations are to enable organizations to decide for themselves what is needed for value-driven success and intuitive business transformations without having to pay expensive consultants and/or sit through

    dozens of smoke-and-mirror demonstrations by sales persons who may only have limited exposure to world-class

    standards, benchmarks and best-of-class offerings. Participating professionals are empowered to make strategic and

    operational decisions about automation in a timely fashion and avoid the pitfalls associated with such deployments

    (saving their organizations money, time and effort by applying the simple rules shared during this session).

    Participants gain insight on how to expedite the development, implementation, and evaluation of their own CAFM,

    IWMS, TIFM and/or UIFM Business Plan(s). Several years ago, Building Information Modeling (BIM) 1.0 and 2.0

    became a strategic unifying force in the collaborative sharing of data and information by Architects, Engineers and

    Contractors (AEC Professionals). Today, BIM 3.0 and BIM 4.0 (a.k.a. Enterprise Information Modeling (EIM)), initially created by ARCHIBUS, will be a unifying force in collaborative sharing between Real Estate, Infrastructure, Facilities and AEC professionals. Intuitive Business Transformation (IBT) environments, as drivers for EIM will allow all of these professionals to work with their organizations executive teams to contribute to their organizations strategic and operational initiatives in a powerfully unique and timely manner. Participants are able to learn how they can begin to realize the benefits of deploying remarkable Intuitive Business Transformation environments for IFM solutions in less than 30-days. Return on investment for such solutions is typically within 9 months and results in generating enough savings to empower organizations to expand their green initiatives and start the creation of smart buildings in intelligent cities within their portfolios.

    EIM Driven by Intuitive Business Transformation (IBT) environments incorporate the real time information and knowledge from your organizations best-of-class point solutions, resulting in growth through strategic and operational excellence. In this IBT example, geospatial (from ESRI), financial and HR (from SAP and Oracle) and IWMS (from ARCHIBUS) information is blended and professionals are empowered via IBT Mash-ups.

    Figure 1. ARCHIBUS Web Central IBT (Intuitive Business Transformation) dashboards are created to unlock the

    power of geospatial and ERP visualization for improved analysis, reporting, and decision-making - empowers

    organizations to realize sustained growth through strategic and operational excellence.
