Established in 1985, Strategies is an international data centre and facilities management software house. A team of developers works to create CadwinFM branded solutions, that support the efficient management of any real estate portfolio and property-related assets. Strategies and its network of partners support the implementation of the software, advising on stand-alone, client server or web-enabled solutions.

Tailored modules for environments with highly specialised technical requirements, such as data centres, have been created to support cross-functional communication and clarity of management reporting in critical environments. An inherent understanding of real estate enables the CADWINFM product to facilitate a true understanding between the IT and FM functions.

Strategies’ market-leading software development process focuses on concepts inherent in modular, event-based, and visual programming.
