Stay on Top of Day-to-Day Operations Through A Web-Based IWMS with Portfolio Management

When you think about the traits that make a business successful, you might consider financial prowess, passion, and patience as crucial attributes. However, an oft-neglected trait has become increasingly crucial to defining success in a post-pandemic world: flexibility.

The ability to adapt to changing situations is extremely underrated yet extremely important. If the changing rules and regulations over the past year in reaction to Covid-19 have taught us anything, it’s that nothing is permanent, and everything is “figureoutable.”

It is naturally easier to talk about adapting than it is to actually make those changes to your business; when you have to manage an entire global portfolio with different property types and functions as well as the people who populate those spaces in a virus-sensitive society, space usage and availability can change in an instant. In addition, staying on top of day-to-day operations, spotting trends, and analyzing all of the data can be overwhelming, to say the least.

Portfolio managers who want to address current problems while identifying opportunities to better use their spaces can turn to an integrated workplace management system (IWMS) for insights. An IWMS with portfolio management provides oversight for any size real estate portfolio, improves root cause analysis to easily isolate problems and uncover potential opportunities, minimizes cost, and maximizes current commercial real estate (CRE) holdings.

A Triple-Win Scenario

A web-based IWMS with portfolio management affords businesses on-demand access to a centralized collection of data, which empowers more informed decisions about CRE.

A common operating framework of land, structures, buildings, and leases creates a more collaborative, better-informed workflow that enhances flexibility and increases scalability. This can have a trickle-down effect, benefiting all stakeholders and establishing a precedence of dynamic, situation-proof problem-solving.

Operationally, there are three positives to an IWMS with portfolio management. This triple-win includes benefits for:

    • Your Business: An IWMS can improve the analysis and management of real estate assets and align them with the company’s long-term mission. A key strategy is maintaining current spaces or invest in new ones as hybrid work – including remote work – grows.The opportunity to evaluate and track facilities as a dynamic asset allows companies to take advantage of vacancies and investment opportunities. An IWMS empowers business unit managers to easily review assets and space assigned to them. In turn, they can rationalize capacity, identify spaces that are no longer needed, and redesign or repurpose spaces to fit the changing needs of employees or potential subletters.Data visualization via the optional geographical tool to link to GIS functionality in the IWMS delivers map-based perspectives of properties. Real estate managers can then visualize the total impact and effectiveness of real estate spending and decision-making across business units. This makes it easier to develop quick, informed strategies based on the portfolio’s ability to fulfill the organizational mission. Additionally, seamless integration with other IWMS applications like capital budgeting, project management, space management, and enterprise move management maximizes CRE optimization for the business as a broad unit.
    • Your Employees: Data analysis and space planning are critical to prioritize the changing needs of employees in uncertain times. An organization’s ability to remain flexible and competitive for the benefit of its employees is pertinent to its success as a whole; higher employee satisfaction leads to higher engagement and productivity.Careful consideration of safety and health precautions, and opportunity for collaboration, are cornerstones of any return to the workplace plan. An IWMS tracks space usage, which allows employers to meet the unique needs of their employees. This data may result in creation of quieter, distraction-free spaces where employees can concentrate on work or the development of a hybrid work environment that makes it easy to switch between working from home and working in a group setting. The overall goal stays the same: decrease a potential loss of productivity.
    • Your Customers: Time is the only asset you can freely spend… but can’t ever create or purchase more of. Because of this, it must be used wisely.Less time spent on decision-making allows businesses to spend more time on customer service. An IWMS allows managers responsible for real estate assets to command every detail of a CRE portfolio and proactively offer better customer service.Client expectations have evolved with COVID-19. The growth of the digital landscape now requires businesses to be responsive 24/7. An IWMS provides unit managers with a self-sustaining platform available at their fingertips to answer client questions and concerns more quickly.

Face the Future with Flexibility

Creating an agile workplace that is able to withstand change and sustain positive business-employee relationships, as well as business-client connections, is crucial for continued growth. But it’s not a simple task.

The ability to be flexible is paramount and the only way to be recession-proof and ensure forward momentum. Implementing a SaaS solution like Archibus to securely modernize and up level is a means of committing to continued business improvement, employee productivity, and customer satisfaction – no matter what uncertain times might bring.

The result? An organization in control of accurate property and performance information that is designed to meet the needs of every party involved, from the business as a broad entity to individual employees and customers.

Webinar – What’s New in ARCHIBUS v25.2

Webinar – What’s New in ARCHIBUS v25.2

ARCHIBUS V.25.2 is the first full-software release that is on our target quarterly cadence. ARCHIBUS V.25.2 contains the following major enhancements:

Return to Work

Planning to safely welcome employees back to the office is a concern for all facility managers. To support a return to work, ARCHIBUS V.25.2 supports:

  • Space planning cases
  • Social distance validation
  • Auto-cleaning after hoteling

Additionally, to support maintaining a safe environment after employees return to work, V.25.2 includes the Dynamic Workplace home page.

This is available for both ARCHIBUS Cloud and the full ARCHIBUS product.

Space Enhancements

Many enhancements designed for Return to Work were trends before the pandemic and will continue going forward.

Even if you do not use the Space features specifically for managing Return to Work, you can use the features for general space planning. For example:

  • Assigning employees to phases and days of the week

  • Designating employees as working remotely

  • Assigning room statuses

Application and User Interface Enhancements

Maintenance

You can now access reference docs for archived work using the Search and Manage Work Requests task.

Capital Projects

When working with projects, you can now import and export Microsoft Project 2016 projects.

Company Logo

Administrators can now display their customer logo in the view header using the System / System / ARCHIBUS Administrator – Application Configuration / Edit Logo task. Previously, a company entered its logo by overwriting \ab-core\graphics\customer-logo\customer-logo.png. Since sites working on a hosted Cloud deployment did not have easy access to this file, we have added this task so you can upload your logo file to the database.

Workplace

The self-service Workplace view has the following enhancements:

  • Customers with a Corrective Maintenance license can now define problem types that will appear in the Workplace Service Catalog.
  • Workplace can now display a company logo, as described above.
  • Administrators can override the default Workplace colors to match customer brand colors. For example, you might configure Workplace to use a shade of yellow to match your company branding or use a red color scheme.

2 Minute Drill – Space Management v.25

2 Minute Drill – Space Management v.25

Optimize your workplace around the needs of your workers with ARCHIBUS Space Management v.25.

While space is a top 3 expense for most organizations, more than half of all office space is wasted. That is because space planners and corporate real estate professionals have incomplete insight into how workers engage with their environments throughout the day. Archibus boasts the industry’s most powerful solutions for optimizing workplaces around the needs of modern workers. Eliminate wasted space and create a better place to work, collaborate, and grow.

•Align workspaces with real needs

•Elevate your employee experience

•Eliminate wasted space

•Increase real estate capacity

Studies conducted in the US and around the world tell us that between 50% – 60% of workspace sits empty at any given moment. This waste not only highlights a lack of inability to accurately track and assign space in the corporate real estate landscape, but it also demonstrates a lack of visibility and understanding on behalf of organizations into how spaces are actually used. For example, most meeting rooms are designed for 6 people, yet average meeting attendance is closer to half of that, while private offices are empty more than 70% of the time on average. Most companies still assign one seat per person, but modern workers are just as likely to be away from their desks, working remotely or collaborating elsewhere.

These insights have awoken organizations to the opportunity in data-driven space planning to drive real estate savings and realign workplaces around the needs of their workers.

IMS Consulting - 2 Minute Drill - Space Management v.25
ARCHIBUS v.25.2 supports return to work occupancy plans with social distancing functionality.

ARCHIBUS Company Rebranding Announcement

ARCHIBUS Company Rebranding Announcement

 

A few months ago, the Archibus + Serraview family welcomed SpaceIQ into the fold. We’d like to share some exciting news on their behalf: the new combined company will be called SpaceIQ.

SpaceIQ was chosen because it represents the full range of all three powerful product lines. As you know, Archibus is recognized worldwide as the industry-leading IWMS and the company does not want to dilute or confuse this distinct product identity by making it the company name. By the same token, Serraview is widely considered the best space planning tool on the market and they don’t want to interrupt the 15 years of momentum behind this product name.

SpaceIQ is a relatively new name in the market, but those that know the brand associate it with leading-edge technology and aggressive innovation—qualities that represent the direction they are taking for all product lines. For this reason, they are renaming the existing SpaceIQ product SiQ.

In the next year, you will see our brand evolve to reflect the changes mentioned above. We’ll launch a new website for the umbrella SpaceIQ brand and all three product lines.

Why are you changing the name of the company?

When Archibus + Serraview acquired SpaceIQ, we determined that each company name best represents the products and services it provides. After much research, debate, and future planning, we chose SpaceIQ for our combined companies.

We chose SpaceIQ because it represents the full range of our powerful product lines. As you know, Archibus is recognized worldwide as the industry-leading IWMS and we do not want to dilute or confuse this distinct product identity by making it the company name. By the same token, Serraview is widely considered the best space planning tool on the market and we don’t want to interrupt the 15 years of momentum behind this product name.

SpaceIQ is a relatively new name in the market, but those that know the brand associate it with leading-edge technology and aggressive innovation—qualities that represent the direction we are taking for all of our product lines. For this reason, we are renaming the existing SpaceIQ product SiQ.  

 

What is changing for me?

Business for you will continue as usual. Our emails, however, will change to the SpaceIQ domain. Any email you send to our Serraview, Archibus, or Archibus-Serraview emails will be routed to our new SpaceIQ email addresses. Please keep an eye on your inbox and junk folders for replies and messages from our new email addresses.

 

Will I see changes in the product?

Over time, you’ll see slightly modified logos for the Archibus and Serraview products accompanied by a SpaceIQ company logo. A slight change to each product’s  color palette will slowly be integrated. 

 

Will this change or disrupt my service?

There will be no service disruptions due to rebrand initiatives.  

 

Will there be a new website?

Yes. In the coming months, we’ll launch a new website for the umbrella SpaceIQ brand and all three product lines.
