AssetWorks AiM

quote-only (demo / sales conversation required) Operate the Building

Campus-first IWMS for higher education facilities teams, covering work orders, assets, inventory, property, space, and related capital-planning modules. AssetWorks layers AiM Capital Planning and Project Management plus Assessment & Needs Analysis on the same platform for institutions that want maintenance, space, and long-range planning tied together.

Hidden Pricing
2.6 /5 composite score
Higher-ed IWMS incumbent with real campus deployment depth -- SUNY and UConn both use AiM for work orders, assets, and space data, and AssetWorks keeps the product tightly focused on university operations, but pricing is still quote-led (RF1), rollout is enterprise-heavy, and the automation surface is more integrator/training-driven than self-serve.

Also covers

AssetWorks AiM also appears in these sub-categories:

Development Feasibility & Pro Forma
Useful for institutional capital planning rather than developer pro formas -- AiM CPPM and ANA tie deficiency and lifecycle data to multi-year campus capital plans and budgeting, but the workflow is built for facilities offices managing large estates, not lightweight underwriting teams.
