Kreon L. Cyros, President & CEO - INSITE
Kreon Cyros is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where
he received the degrees of Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering in 1956
and a Master of Science in 1962 concentrated in the Sloan School of Management.
From 1966 to 1970, he pioneered the development of computer-aided facilities
management software by designing and implementing the INSITE™ asset management
information system for MIT. In 1973, he was asked to establish the MIT-sponsored
Consortium for sharing both the INSITE™ technology and the expertise
for its effective use. Consortium members represent academic, health care,
and government institutions from North America, Europe, and the Pacific Rim.
In 1976, Mr. Cyros was appointed Director of the newly founded MIT Office of
Facilities Management Systems (OFMS). His responsibilities included the use
of the INSITE™ system to manage MIT’s 10 million gross square feet
of space and to maximize MIT’s indirect cost recovery activities for the
sponsored research use of its physical assets. OFMS was also tasked with the
continued development of the INSITE™ suite of systems and support of the
MIT-founded Consortium of INSITE™ users. In 1996, he was named President
and CEO of a nonprofit Consortium doing business as INSITE, to further the dissemination
and development of the INSITE™ system. The INSITE Consortium continues
to be active under his direction, with headquarters in Peabody MA and a European
office in the United Kingdom.
Mr. Cyros began teaching facilities management courses in 1973 for the MIT Summer
Session Program, and in 1981 he established an MIT Summer Session course for
senior facilities executives. From 1984 to 1996, he developed and managed an
international facilities management conference at MIT, reflecting the Institute’s
educational and global commitments.
Internationally acknowledged for his major contributions to the FM field, Mr.
Cyros founded the International Society of Facilities Executives (ISFE) on behalf
of MIT in 1989. ISFE, an organization fostering global exchanges of facilities
management information and ideas among senior managers, remained active through
2004 with Mr. Cyros as Chairman. He has a long history as a keynote speaker at
international events in North America, Europe, and Asia, sharing his perspective
on the ever-changing world of facilities management.
Kreon Cyros has been active in a number of activities including MIT’s program “Facilities
Management for the Japanese Professional” as co-director; founding director
of Cambridge Facili-ties Technology, an international consulting firm; Standing
Committee member of the Building Owners and Managers Institute (BOMI); and Advisory
Council member of Michigan State University’s graduate program in facilities
management. He currently serves on the Board of Directors of a Massachusetts
cooperative bank with nearly $200 million in assets and is Chairman of their
EDP and Audit committees. In 1991-1992, he was Subcommittee Chair of the Working
Group for the building and area definitions in the 1992 Facilities Inventory
and Classifications Manual (FICM) published by the National Center for Educational
Statistics (NCES) in Washington DC. In 1995, he was appointed by NCES as National
Chair of the Working Group to produce a new FICM for the U.S. Government. He
was asked by the NCES Project Director to continue as their industry expert until
the draft 2006 FICM editing process is completed.

Mark
Duewell - University of Missouri
Born
into a military family in Wichita KS, Mark—a geographic information systems
specialist—called many places “home” during
his childhood. In July 1975, he embarked on his own career with the U.S. Air
Force, serving in Virginia (computer operations), Florida (space surveillance),
California (low altitude satellite and shuttle programs), and Hawaii (Intelligence
Center Pacific, IPAC). He retired in Missouri from Whiteman’s B-2 program
after a tour at Khamis Mushayt, Saudi Arabia, in support of a F-117 Stealth
unit deployed for Desert Storm/Desert Shield.
His first exposure to GIS came in 1988 while assigned to a joint service command
under the Commander-in-Chief (CINC), Pacific at Pearl Harbor HA. Maps of air
defense systems and targets were required on a daily basis to brief aircrew
and forces under CINC’s command. As an aside, Mark also participated
in mapping the security force locations for the Seoul Olympics.
After military retirement, Mark joined what was then the Missouri Department
of Health’s Bureau of Environmental Epidemiology. Initially he provided
computer and networking support for the Childhood Lead Poisoning and Prevention
Program, later providing in-house support to the Division of Environmental
Health and Communicable Disease Prevention in which the Bureau was located.
In 1997, at the request of the then Bureau Chief Daryl Roberts, Mark extended
his GIS background by attending a series of trainings, including ArcInfo training
at Redlands CA. Mr. Robert’s intent was build GIS analysis and mapping
capability within the bureau and eventually within the division and department
as a whole. As requests for services increased, Mark began the expansion of
the Technical Services unit that eventually numbered nine staff members who
provided GIS services to most of the department. These services included conducting
geospatial exercises in support of emergency response, mapping disease, superfund
sites, health services, and assisting in risk analysis studies. In his initial
years with the department, he also provided GIS training classes in-house as
a means of increasing GIS usage in the department.
In 2003, Mark accepted a position with the Missouri Spatial Data Information
Service (MSDIS) within the University of Missouri’s Geographic Resource
Center (GRC), Department of Geography. As MSDIS Program Manager, Mark coordinates
the program’s activities with the GRC’s other activities. He can
draw on the assistance of a small but highly competent staff whose contributions
include server administration, web services, and database design and management.
He is constantly looking to make improvements to the state geospatial data
clearinghouse and services that MSDIS provides to its customers. Additionally,
as a co-pi, he is responsible for writing and coordination of the FGDC/USGS
MO Cooperative Agreement Program (MOCAP 2004) and (MOCAP 2005), providing geospatial
training and help desk services to Missouri local governments, contributing
data layers to the USGS national map. He also “ramped up” and coordinates
the Geospatial Training Center, utilizing existing university facilities and
a regional remote classroom to provide Missouri GIS training locations. Mark
focuses much of his time on MSDIS, local government initiatives, and education
and outreach activities.
As part of this effort and as a CAP grant deliverable, Mark became an ESRI
Authorized Trainer of ESRI’s “Intro to ArcGIS I” in December
2004 and Introduction to ArcGIS II in December 2005. Since becoming “authorized,” Mark
has conducted numerous classes for the GTC, the Missouri Associated Councils
of Government, and the Heartland HAZUS Users Group (HHUG) with class sizes
varying up to 20 students.

community institutions, including extensive service for public and parochial
school clients. For seven years through the 1990s he also taught Educational
Facility Planning in the graduate program of Minnesota State University – Moorhead

capacity of state and local preservation organizations and develops strategies
to confront new and emerging threats to historic resources in eight Midwestern
states. Large among those are many historic schools throughout the region now

to know that is not the case.
