2021 has passed and what a year it has been!
The realities of COVID-19 have certainly changed the way of life and work for each one of us. We live in unprecedented times, and it is best if we all collectively exercise caution and stay safe while we wait for this crisis to pass.
After living through another business year in the pandemic, we wanted to reach out and send our best wishes to you and yours! We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to our new and existing clients for their continued trust and collaboration in 2021.
It’s the time of the year to take a look back and celebrate our milestones and we are delighted to share them with you.
Accolades
SIERRA’s flagship product eFACiLiTY® Enterprise Facility Management Software (CAFM/IWMS) was awarded the Best Workplace & FM Technology at iNFHRA’s Workplace Partner Awards 2021.

Achievements
SIERRA became one of the first software companies in the world to achieve ISO 41001:2018 Facility Management System (FMS) certification. We achieved this international standard by fully implementing all the requirements using our flagship product eFACiLiTY® Enterprise Facility Management Software (CAFM/IWMS), an excellent automation tool for the facility management domain, giving utmost confidence to clients implementing our product.
Employee Stock Ownership
We have started our Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) implementation this year to share SIERRA’s wealth with long-standing, dedicated employees to keep them motivated and to create a sense of belonging/ownership interest amongst them. Also, by this mechanism employees are compensated with increasing equity interests over time and wealth creation.
Healthy Workplace
Our workplace is now capable of maintaining the healthiest indoor air quality even during harsh outdoor environmental conditions, keeping the dust levels very low and preventing the spread of viruses and bacteria with the addition of fresh air fans supplying 90% enhanced fresh air (compared to ASHRAE 62.1 standard) with operation theatre grade HEPA filters maintaining positive air pressure and dehumidifier to control humidity. Our software development centre is consistently achieving PM2.5 & 10 levels < 10 µg/m³ (ambient goes up to 200 µg/m³), CO2 levels < 650 ppm, TVOC < 400 ppb and Humidity is maintained between 45-55% (ambient goes up to 99% in Coimbatore).
