Executive Summary

Integrated Workplace Management Systems (IWMS) and other real estate solutions can deliver huge value for those managing large, complex property portfolios, but deploying them is never straightforward. To shed light on the journey customers experience when implementing such software, Verdantix interviewed the Head of Space Management at a private healthcare firm in California, US, on a strictly confidential basis.  With over 200 properties located across the San Francisco Bay Area, spanning 6 million square feet, the firm has a complex real estate portfolio. And faced with rising rental costs and growing demand, its staff has ramped up their use of software solutions such as ARCHIBUS’s IWMS platform, IBM Maximo and Lease Harbor. This has resulted in swift efficiencies for real estate management. This report will help real estate, IT and finance directors and heads of operations to understand how their peers derive value from their real estate technology investments.
