One of the ways in which new technology can help FM is through providing better information, especially when it comes to possible new contracts. The Eur-op online database is one example of a modern tool that may help FM companies.
Fully European in its content, and coming in eleven languages for easy cross-border use, this is a database containing tens of thousands of tenders and public service contracts currently being offered.
It concentrates on European tender opportunities, but also features selected offers from Japan, the USA and other countries.
Updated daily, it's searchable by contract type, location, author and date, making it possible to specify exactly what you're looking for, in any business area you like.
And uniquely for such a useful service, it's free to anyone who wishes to access it, so there's no need to worry about having a good rummage through for interesting offers.
As it's such a new service, it requires you to be using a new version of a browser - either Netscape 4.5 or Explorer 5.0 or above.
