Senior Consultant – Microsoft Places, IMDF Conversion & Georeferencing

Project overview

For the introduction of Microsoft Places, we are looking for an experienced Senior Consultant who will convert existing office floor plans into usable digital building data. The focus is on IMDF conversion, georeferencing, and technical preparation for a pilot with one building and two to three floors. You can take on a specialized sub-package or, with appropriate competence, manage the entire technical implementation.

Framework Conditions

Responsibilities

The following overall scope describes the technical work in the project. The specific task distribution depends on the agreed service model; not every specialist needs to take on all Microsoft Places tasks.

Convert existing office floor plans in DWG, DXF, and PDF formats into IMDF format.

Georeference floor plans and prepare them for use in Microsoft Places.

Assign meeting rooms, desk pools, and individual workstations to the respective Microsoft Places/Exchange IDs.

Support IMDF import and validate floor plans, rooms, and workstations.

Analyze errors and support technical troubleshooting.

Microsoft Places remains the central solution. The introduction of an additional workplace management platform is explicitly not part of the project.

Profile

We are looking for a Senior Consultant with practical experience in IMDF conversion, handling CAD floor plans, and georeferencing. You understand the requirements for preparing building data for Microsoft Places and can explain your experience using comparable projects.

For a specialized sub-package, the focus is on conversion, georeferencing, and IMDF preparation. If you take on the entire technical implementation, knowledge of Microsoft Places, assignment of Places/Exchange IDs, as well as import, validation, and technical troubleshooting will also be required. Collaboration and technical coordination must be possible in German.

Collaboration and Service Models

Preferred model: specialized sub-package. The external partner takes over conversion, georeferencing, and IMDF preparation. The internal implementation team is responsible for Microsoft Places configuration, Places/Exchange ID assignment, import, validation, and technical support.

Alternative model: entire technical implementation. With appropriate competence, taking on the entire described technical scope is also possible. The exact delimitation and interfaces with the internal team will be clarified in the scoping call.

Pure Microsoft Places consulting and solution introduction are already covered internally. We are particularly looking for practical implementation competence for the integration of existing office floor plans, not exclusively general introduction consulting.

Application and Offer

Please submit a comprehensive profile with the following information:

Relevant project examples and experience with IMDF, CAD floor plans, georeferencing, and preparation for Microsoft Places.

Desired service model: specialized sub-package or entire technical implementation; please specify the offered scope.

Availability in November/December 2026 and your hourly rate.

Assessment of a transparent pricing model with a one-time price per floor for implementation after the pilot.

I look forward to your response.

Best regards

Jörg Garms
