Independent client-side consultancy We sit on the client's side of the table.
Elderbray helps public-sector Estates, Property and IT teams reduce risk across
CAFM and IWMS procurement, data migration, integrations, implementation and
mobilisation. We do not sell software. Our advice is independent, vendor-neutral
and focused on whether the solution will work for your organisation in practice.
A practical place to start
A focused independent review for organisations preparing to procure, implement,
migrate, mobilise or recover a CAFM or IWMS service.
Services
Engagements are designed around the client's decisions, risks and operational
outcomes rather than the sale of a particular software product.
Assess whether your organisation, data and governance are ready before procurement, implementation or migration begins. Review configuration, data, workflows, reporting, ownership, supplier support and user adoption in a live environment. Maintain client control over scope, decisions, risks, requirements, supplier deliverables, testing and operational readiness. Define data ownership, cleansing rules, mapping, reconciliation, acceptance evidence, cutover and post-load validation. Translate operational needs into clear requirements, evaluation criteria and structured supplier demonstrations. Set interface responsibilities, review designs, coordinate suppliers and assure SIT, UAT, defect and regression evidence. Provide programme governance, dependency management, executive reporting, change control and transition into operational ownership. Create structured, traceable datasets from estate, space, signage and visual-asset surveys for review and CAFM import. Support related SAP, SITS, HR, Finance, Microsoft 365, SharePoint, PowerApps, migration and service-transition programmes. Smart buildings
Elderbray helps clients define the purpose, requirements and governance for
occupancy sensors and other smart-building data. Support can include use-case
definition, supplier evaluation, data ownership, privacy considerations,
reporting needs and integration requirements across CAFM, IWMS, BMS, space and
business intelligence platforms.
Sensor hardware installation and specialist configuration are delivered by the
client's appointed technology supplier. Elderbray can provide independent
client-side coordination, governance and acceptance assurance.
Experience
These examples are anonymised to protect client confidentiality while showing
the scope of work delivered.
A complex programme required multiple CAFM and supplier systems to exchange controlled operational data. A UK university needed to introduce and embed a new IWMS across a complex estate. A UK higher education institution needed reliable signage and visual estate information. Estates systems often need to work alongside wider corporate platforms and controlled change processes. About Elderbray
Elderbray Limited is an independent UK consultancy specialising in client-side
CAFM and IWMS assurance, Digital Estates, property data, integration governance
and technology-enabled business change.
CAFM and IWMS programmes frequently involve Estates, Facilities, IT, procurement,
software vendors, FM providers, survey teams and integration suppliers. Each party
owns part of the answer, but the client remains accountable for the overall outcome.
Elderbray helps clients define what good looks like, establish ownership, test
evidence and make informed decisions without a commercial interest in the software selected.
