Challenges
•
The client had been having issues leveraging their current real estate portfolio as a strategic asset to meet their business goals and needed help in making better decisions based on key performance indicators. The systems they were currently utilizing were not sufficient enough to meet their end goals. They were on the lookout for a comprehensive real estate management software that would support their strategic planning, reduce occupancy costs, optimize their portfolio, and deliver metrics. It had to capture, manage, use and report relevant facility inventory and six-year facilities planning data and had to improve their ability to manage and display facility data via the web. The solution also needed to be able to relate lease projects, acquisition and disposal projects to current lease information and other records such as past leases, future leases, subleases and space management and energy efficiency metrics. In essence, the client was looking to acquire a solution that would support best practices in lease management, project management, transaction management, and space management. And last but not the least, the client required the solution to be provided as a Software as a Service (SaaS) hosted implementation.
