52 buildingoperatingmanagement SEPTEMBER <strong>2011</strong> employer from ADP to the outsourcing firm. “Our first thought had been to consolidate [FM] within our own organization,” Elman says, “but we didn’t have the tools in house, and it wasn’t our primary expertise.” ADP instead decided to look for a company with better tools to manage facilities operations. Putting all of FM under the outsourcing provider’s umbrella has improved management, consolidated purchasing and provided access to intelligence on a broader scale. The staff cuts, together with outsourcing, have allowed ADP to reduce facility management expenses by 7 percent. Not surprisingly, opinion on the “new normal” was mixed. For “shining stars,” the change has created an additional career path within the outsourcing firm and allowed managers to become part of a group that specializes in what they do. But everyone had to stretch a little more, and there were a few who opted to quit or retire. “Some people bought into the fact that it was a career move, but some others said ‘it’s time for me to go,’” Elman says. Overall, outsourcing has been a success. ADP still has more bumps in the road ahead, says Elman, but facility management is now more tightly controlled and uses more sophisticated tools to purchase and better metrics to determine staffing.
