The shift from reactive maintenance to proactive management, predictive planning, and operational continuity, and the role of technology, data, and BCP in creating stability and confidence for clients.
Electra FM and Bar-Ilan University marked the completion of the first certification cohort of the Integrated Facilities Management (IFM) program, as part of an academic-professional collaboration designed to develop managers capable of operating in complex, dynamic, and multi-system operational environments.
Maintenance management is not measured by headlines or photographs. It is tested in moments when there is no room for error, when a system must keep running, a site is remote, conditions are complex, and the security reality can change at any moment. In those moments, quiet, precise, and responsible work makes the difference between operational continuity and failure.
Behind every well-functioning structure lies smart management. Property management is not merely about maintenance; it focuses on curating an experience of security, comfort, and quality of life for all property users.
Integrated Facility Management (IFM) isn’t measured by spreadsheets or dashboards. It reveals itself in moments of disruption — a sudden malfunction, an unexpected event, or a change in security conditions. In those critical moments, the ability to connect people, systems, and data into one seamless operation is what separates smooth functionality from a full-blown crisis.
On Monday, February 17, 2025, Bar-Ilan University and Electra FM, Israel’s leading Facility and property management firm, announced a first-of-its-kind strategic partnership: an advanced academic program in Integrated Facility Management (IFM). The program, which will begin on February 25, establishes a new standard for training managers in integrated management in Israel.
In February 2025, The IFM community convened for its seventh meeting, following a hiatus of about a year and a half due to the challenges of the “Swords of Iron” war.
The meeting, held in an atmosphere of renewed unity, highlighted the Group’s resilience and continued growth even in challenging times.
