Archibus, a leading provider of workplace software solutions, today announced the availability of Archibus Cloud, an integrated workplace management system (IWMS) that reduces the real estate spend and elevates employee experience.
This new product aligns organizations with best practices in agile, people-centric workplaces, featuring a simplified interface and cloud-based delivery model that makes it easier to implement, update, scale, and realize rapid time-to-value.
In most cases, facilities management is the second-largest expense for mid- to large-sized organizations. Archibus, with 35 years of experience in WPS, enables customers to convert their facilities into strategic assets by transforming them into workspaces that perform for their business.
"The idea of a single technology stack for the built environment allows the customer to take advantage of synergies between the data and go on a journey together with their IWMS vendor," said Archibus + Serraview Chief Product Officer, Ian Morley.
"That's where we are different and we're turning the tables on the IWMS industry. Archibus Cloud is focused on delivering rapid time-to-value, best practices, and configuration over customization, as well as building strategic, long-term, value-adding relationships with our customers and partners. We're in this together."
