EMC Consolidates its Global Workplace Resource Management Strategy with Centerstone Software Global implementation of e-Center One improves communication, collaboration, and reduces expenditure
Westwood, Mass.--January 21, 2002--Centerstone Software, the leader in Workplace Resource Management, today announced that EMC Corporation has consolidated and standardized its workplace resource management strategy on its e-Center One® enterprise suite. With the aid of e-Center One, EMC can now obtain a comprehensive view of its entire workplace infrastructure, and can accurately track and determine space allocation and occupancy expenses, leasing obligations, maintenance operations, and work space inventory. This results in more strategic workplace management decisions and cost reductions within EMC's 52 global offices.
In today's economy, global businesses such as EMC, the world leader in information storage systems, software, networks and services, need to operate with improved levels of communication and collaboration. This includes utilizing one universal Workplace Resource Management solution to eliminate redundant processes and increase productivity gains. e-Center One aids in this process by providing a Web-based collaboration platform that ties together multiple databases and software products throughout the workplace, creating a holistic view of an organization's real estate, facilities, space, operations, personnel, life safety and asset information for decision-making, strategic analysis, scenario planning, and ongoing management.
"e-Center One is a necessary tool to strategically manage our facilities worldwide," says Daniel Fitzgerald, vice president of global facilities and real estate for EMC. "It allows us to analyze, review, and model our workplace data against business scenarios to enhance and accelerate our business operations and planning decisions. In addition, e-Center One provides us with one standardized platform for reporting, currency tracking, and data analysis across our worldwide enterprise. This is imperative given the enormity of our real estate portfolio and the number of top tier vendors that need to access and utilize our workplace information."
With more than two million sf of office space in their Hopkinton, Mass., headquarters alone, EMC is looking to e-Center One to enhance communication throughout their substantial facilities. With information accessible via the Web, containing set roles for security, e-Center One provides a more efficient means to maintain their corporate buildings with a centralized facilities management staff.
"e-Center One provides a common platform for complete Workplace Resource Management," says Matthew Meyer, founder and chief strategy officer for Centerstone Software. "EMC is the prime example of our technology being used effectively across all workplace disciplines on a global level, creating one consolidated view of their complete workplace. This integration of disparate information will reveal hidden workplace operational costs and allow EMC to realize immediate ROI benefits."
