Case Study: Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp. achieves 99% space-data accuracy and 5% annual maintenance savings with ARCHIBUS

New Applications Positioning Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp.’s Facilities Department as a Strategic Player

Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp.’s Facilities department struggled with time-consuming, manual systems—leases stored as hard copies, utilities tracked separately, and space data managed in Excel—across 34 owned and leased buildings totaling about 1.4 million sq. ft. This fragmentation made property, lease and space management cumbersome and produced only ~70% space-data accuracy, limiting the department’s ability to support budgeting and compliance needs.

By deploying ARCHIBUS applications (Space Management, Real Property & Lease Management, Building Operations, Move Management and Telecommunications & Cable Management) Ball digitized leases, integrated utilities and cost data, and centralized space and maintenance records. The result: space-data accuracy rose to 99%, Finance gained ready access to reports, preventive maintenance in ARCHIBUS reduced the annual maintenance budget by 5%, and the Facilities team became a strategic, C‑level resource.
