"on-demand workforce solutions and integrated facilities management (IFM), today announced"

Integrated facilities management (IFM) is a single, coordinated approach to running and maintaining a company’s physical assets—buildings, equipment, security, cleaning and utilities—under one contract or management team rather than through multiple separate vendors. For investors it matters because IFM can reduce costs, simplify operations, improve uptime and predictability, and concentrate service risk and performance into one measurable relationship, affecting profitability and capital efficiency.
