As John Anderson, President and CEO of PeopleCube said, “The reason industry-leading firms from various market segments are adopting our innovative workplace management technology is that our products and associated consulting services provide solid ROI. In a year when companies have been forced to consolidate operations and control costs, our sustained growth, particularly in our subscription business, is a testament to the overall value that our solutions provide both in the short and long term.”
Highlighting PeopleCube’s success in 2009, the company signed several new enterprise accounts, including 33 Fortune 1000 firms and such household names as Merck Pharmaceuticals, Thomson Reuters, Carnival Cruise Lines, PricewaterhouseCoopers, and Deutsche Bank. A significant number of new customer deals involved replacing competing products. While PeopleCube was increasing its market share at its competitors’ expense, it succeeded in maintaining a client retention rate of greater than 97 percent.
Pushing Technology Forward
Throughout 2009, PeopleCube continued to introduce innovative, industry-leading technology, bringing to market offerings such as:
- Workplace BI—The industry’s first workplace business intelligence tool that enables organizations to effectively monitor, measure, and manage utilization of real estate to maximize value and reduce overhead; Workplace BI enables organizations to gain an accurate view of both current and future real-estate needs, potentially enabling corporations to save millions of dollars in direct operating costs within their real-estate portfolio.
- Workplace Utilization Analysis Services—A new consulting service designed to help organizations maximize real-estate utilization and organizational efficiency by leveraging detailed analysis of workspace utilization data; this service gives companies valuable insight into how their real estate is being leveraged and enables them to make educated decisions about how to best manage their shared corporate assets so that they can reduce costs and enhance operational efficiency.
- PeopleCounter—A product that fills the long-time missing link in corporate real-estate management by giving companies the ability to track actual vs. planned utilization of space; PeopleCounter enables customers to automatically capture the number of people entering and exiting the scheduled space in order to track how space is actually being utilized, and to measure and analyze the collected data.
Adding Value Through Partnerships
PeopleCube’s relationship with CountWise, which helped bring about the PeopleCounter solution, is one example of the partnership approach PeopleCube leverages to extend the value of PeopleCube’s solutions for its customers. In all during 2009, PeopleCube forged partnerships with more than 10 organizations that are leaders in their respective fields.
Other significant partnerships formed during the past year include relationships with AMX, Crestron, and Tandberg, which enable customers to more efficiently manage rooms and telepresence systems; IBM/Maximo to help customers manage asset lifecycle and other maintenance needs; and a relationship with Stegmeier Consulting Group to facilitate change management for flex work and other alternative work environments.
Looking Toward a Bright Future
Looking ahead, Anderson said, “The future is bright for 2010 and beyond. This year we laid the groundwork for releasing a new version of Resource Scheduler early in 2010 that will feature a new user interface, event and visitor management capabilities, mobile access, new enterprise reports, and enhanced workflow to improve ease of use. This latest development effort is designed to further increase efficiency and effectiveness by accommodating the changing needs of our core constituents, facility managers and executives with responsibility for maximizing the use of corporate real estate.”
