 Challenge: BEA, a world leader in enterprise infrastructure software, was seeking an easy-to-use Web-based CAFM solution to support its strategic planning and space utilization processes, which would connect seamlessly with its PeopleSoft HR system and operate on the BEA WebLogic Application Server.
Solution: BEA supports over 4,000 employees in 1.5 million square feet of office space in 50 offices worldwide, using Manhattan Software’s CenterStone solution. BEA has gained a better understanding of where employees are located and where space is needed or could be consolidated. The solution was rolled out to the Americas, then APAC and EMEA.
Results:
- BEA can base all strategic projections and models on real-time data – not out-of-date queries
- Better management of workplace processes has enhanced data quality and improved its accuracy
- Insight into utilization and costs can be presented to senior management via graphical dashboards
- Improved space efficiencies and more accurate planning
- Enhanced utilization, cost identification and chargeback capabilities
“We anticipate significant increases in space efficiencies and tighter forward planning by using this tool. We also expect significant tactical efficiencies with enhanced utilization, cost identification, and chargeback capabilities.”
- Tom Crowley, BEA Real Estate and Corporate Services
