PeopleCube Workplace BI: Measure to Manage
May 18, 2009

Real estate is typically the second-largest corporate expense after labor, yet it can be one of the most overlooked assets within an organization’s portfolio. Knowing how real estate and related assets are being utilized today, and predicting how they will be used tomorrow, can save an organization thousands, even millions of dollars.

PeopleCube’s Workplace BI is the first business intelligence tool for real-estate executives and other space-management personnel looking to maximize real-estate space and asset utilization. Designed to integrate with other enterprise real-estate applications, Workplace BI provides valuable data analysis and trending information that enables organizations to reduce costly overhead by actively managing current and future real-estate utilization.  More>>

Space planning has always been perceived as an art, ormaybe as the art of the possible. Designers understand the requirements that an organisation may have of the space it uses, based on interviewing managers and staff and observing people working in the space. Although they may like to have more solid data to work from, the reality is that the ROI on data capture has never been particularly efficient.  More>>

Improve Image and Reduce Costs By Measuring and Reducing Energy Consumption
January 29, 2009

The concept of the “green” organization has finally been embraced by corporate America. Until now, companies have been able to avoid implementing green initiatives due to concerns about cost and feasibility. However, recent social, political, and economic developments have made environmental issues something that companies can no longer afford to ignore.

The impact that eco-friendly policies have on the corporate image are only expected to increase as consumers become increasingly discerning about from whom they will buy, as investors look for socially responsible firms to invest in, and as job candidates factor environmental issues into their employment decisions.  More>>

Footprint Reductions...and More
January 15, 2009

More efficient use of working and meeting space is now high on the corporate agenda. By linking occupancy to a carbon footprint calculation demonstrates the real ‘cost’ to the occupier of poor space planning and facility use. Simon Willcox explains how reducing space utilisation and carbon footprints go hand in hand.

In the 2008 Faulty Towers research on sustainable buildings, Gensler reported that British business aims to reduce property related energy consumption by 12 per cent over the next five years. Businesses are, according to the report, estimating that this figure currently represent about 5 per cent of their company’s annual turnover. No wonder then that those responsible for energy consumption in commercial property are being placed under pressure to look at environmental management in new and different ways. It is obviously not just about the corporate responsibility agenda, but ever more pertinently about saving cost, an ever important consideration during these difficult economic times.  More>>

It probably wouldn’t be difficult to convince you that it costs a lot to commute to and from work. You likely experience sticker shock yourself every time you visit the pumps.

Now consider that, beyond gasoline, commuters pay to buy, maintain, register, and insure their car; maintain the vehicle with oil changes and tune-ups; buy replacement tires and other nondurable parts; repair the automobile after breakdowns and accidents; and, in some cases, to park at work. And that’s not even counting every taxpayer’s share of constructing and maintaining roads, or the quality-of-life issues surrounding commuting.  More>>

'Green'-generation Facilities Management Software
March 10, 2008

Massachusetts-based People Cube make scheduling software, used by thousands of big companies including General Motors and Procter & Gamble, to reserve physical resources such as conference rooms, hoteling space and teleconferencing facilities.

About five years ago, according to CEO John Anderson, the company began selling its system as a way to allocate “hoteling” / "hot desking" space inside companies where mobile workers might need a desk just for one day. Then PeopleCube engineers realized that they could link the hot-desk scheduler into office buildings’ environmental management systems, so that lighting, heating, or cooling could be adjusted to comfortable levels on floors where the hoteling space was filling up and turned down to save energy on floors with lots of empty cubicles.  More>>

Getting Rid of Empty Cubes: As economy softens, more companies rethink office-space costs. Smart move, considering an estimated 26% of corporate space is vacant or underutilized
February 18, 2008

Rapidly rising real estate costs over the past few years—whether paid for by property owner or tenant—coupled with the prospect of weaker earnings in a softening economy, has companies redoubling their efforts to cut that key part of corporate overhead.

Sprint Nextel, for instance, announced last week that it will consolidate its operational and co-corporate headquarters in Overland Park, Kan., from a site in higher-cost Reston, Va., while Hewlett-Packard recently said it wants to lower its per-employee real estate costs one-third by 2010.

Corporate real estate cost controls can range from the obvious—closing underused facilities and moving workers to cheaper sites—to demanding more services or flexibility in office leases, such as including a clause that gives a tenant the chance to buy its way out of a lease in the event of a substantial downsizing.  More>>

With organizations becoming increasingly keen on green, vendors are injecting green-oriented features into a predictable set of products. We've seen a server management suite, for example, groomed to cap the amount of energy a machine will consume at a given time.

But as the sustainable-tech movement gains momentum, more green-hued features are materializing in product types you might not necessarily expect -- and they're advancing, moving beyond measuring and reducing waste to tracking and reporting organizations' dread carbon footprints. Thus, customers are finding themselves with more options than ever for advancing down the green path and calculating their progress.

This time they really mean it: software saves you money
January 27, 2008

In the past there’s always been the hope that newer, better software systems save money for the enterprise customers. Sometimes it seems to work that way. Spreadsheets sure beat the hell out of the old-fashioned hand-typed data charts and the pocket calculator. But it’s not clear that computerized phone trees really are better than human phone operators. It just shifts the wasted time from the call receiver to the poor caller who has to duel a mindless phone tree. So the waste has been shifted to the caller instead.

Well, there’s plenty of promise in the software world about making business operations greener and more efficient. With that in mind I talked to the CEO of PeopleCube, John Anderson. I’d earlier blogged about PeopleCube’s research into business needs pertaining to office efficiency.  More>>
