TRIRIGA and Syclo Partner to Jointly Offer Innovative Mobile Computing Solutions Initial deployments have benefited from significant productivity gains and enhanced reporting
LAS VEGAS -- TRIRIGA®, one of the leading real estate, facilities, and asset management solution providers, announced a strategic agreement with global mobile computing solutions developer Syclo, to extend the capabilities of FacilityCenter® to mobile workers using Syclo's mobile products. The two companies also plan to work together to fully integrate and jointly market Syclo mobile extensions for all of TRIRIGA's product suites.
Mobile FacilityCenter by Syclo deploys critical components of the facilities management application to remote workers, who use handheld devices to access and update information as they progress throughout the workday. It is already employed by a leading health insurance provider at its international world headquarters, and at several manufacturing locations for a global pharmaceutical company. Mobile FacilityCenter for the FacilityCenter 7.x line is available now. Integrations with FacilityCenter 8i, as well as TRIRIGA's project management system, Projects 8i, are being developed and are planned for release this quarter.
Today's corporate facilities managers are required to do more than ever under tougher budget constraints. Reducing labor costs, improving equipment performance and managing operating expenses are top priorities; and it is each of these components that are directly improved with mobile technology. Enterprises using Mobile FacilityCenter by Syclo have experienced profound productivity increases by eliminating reliance on paperwork, lowering administrative overhead, and significantly increasing the data available to management for enhanced planning, scheduling and reporting.
"The people maintaining facilities are by the very nature of their work, mobile," says Roger Rittenhouse, general manager and vice president of TRIRIGA Real Estate & Facilities. "Companies can maximize their utilization of FacilityCenter by making key components available to technicians who can be more productive with information they need at the point of service. Also, since handheld computers allow FacilityCenter to be updated in a timely manner, managers can more accurately report and schedule necessary preventative maintenance and other projects.
"With more than 500 customers, Syclo has proven the value organizations can derive from taking their operations mobile with the Syclo products. We are proud to add Syclo to the TRIRIGA family as a Technical Partner," Rittenhouse continues.
"We have already built solutions for FacilityCenter customers who were looking to create a frictionless flow of information between workers, managers and their back-end application," added Rich Padula, chief executive of Syclo. "The results have been increases in work orders completed, among other benefits that typically come from mobile. We are excited about this relationship with TRIRIGA and their commitment to providing customers with the best solutions."
