The firm plans, coordinates, and executes facility transitions — including relocations, renovations, expansions, and decommissionings — for healthcare systems, corporations, government agencies, educational institutions, financial institutions, manufacturers, and nonprofits. Its integrated service portfolio comprises five core offerings: Transition Planning (project activity scheduling from design through Go Live), Relocation Management (end-to-end move coordination), Equipment Planning (FF&E procurement, storage, and deployment), Asset Management (lifecycle tracking from acquisition to disposal, plus the EMAC add-on for recurring asset requests), and Decommission Support (asset disposition, repurposing, recycling, and disposal). RSI also operates the RSI Commercial division, launched to extend the firm's playbook into commercial-sector clients.
