Upon completion of the merger, OSCRE will operate as a division of ConnexFM under the name "OSCRE powered by ConnexFM."
IRVING, Texas, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- OSCRE International and ConnexFM today announced that the organizations have signed an agreement to merge, combining OSCRE's expertise in real estate data standards and data management with ConnexFM's extensive community of facilities management professionals and suppliers. The merger is expected to close by the end of December.
Founded in 2002, OSCRE International develops and supports the implementation of real estate data standards and data governance practices, including the OSCRE Industry Data Model, which provides a common framework for data across the real estate asset lifecycle. ConnexFM was created in 1995 to provide education, resources and a professional community for multi-site facility managers and today represents more than 3,000 professionals and suppliers across 800+ member companies.
"Facilities management is becoming increasingly digital, and our members need to be conversant in the data-driven technologies and practices that are reshaping the industry," said Bill Yanek, CEO of ConnexFM. "This merger strengthens our ability to help them build the knowledge and skills they need to lead in a profession that's rapidly evolving."
"The built environment runs on data, but too often that data doesn't travel between the people who need it," said Richard Reyes, CEO & Executive Director of OSCRE International. "OSCRE brings the standards and data expertise, while ConnexFM brings the operational knowledge of thousands of professionals working with that data every day. Connecting those perspectives will help us advance initiatives that are grounded in how data is actually used across real estate."
"The Board approached this decision with a clear priority: preserving OSCRE's mission while positioning the organization to have greater impact," said Mike Maxfield, Chairperson of the OSCRE Board of Directors. "We believe this merger does exactly that, giving OSCRE the scale and support to carry its work forward as data becomes increasingly central to every aspect of real estate."
Upon completion of the merger, OSCRE will operate as a division of ConnexFM under the name "OSCRE powered by ConnexFM." Yanek will serve as CEO of the combined organization, and Reyes will serve as Executive Vice President of Digital Strategy for ConnexFM, leading both the OSCRE division and ConnexFM's overall digital strategy. The ConnexFM Board will become the governing board of the combined organization.
