Hagerman Offers CenterStone Software for
Facility Management
As many of you may know, Autodesk has discontinued sales
of its Autodesk FMDesktop software for facilities management
and will be discontinuing support for the product in January
of 2010. In order to fill the gap in our product line that
this decision has left, Hagerman & Company has chosen to now
represent and support the CenterStone solution from
Manhattan Software for facilities management. CenterStone
provides full functionality, including space management and
planning, operations, asset management and lease management.
In contrast with most other products on the market today,
CenterStone was developed from the ground up as an
integrated, Web-based solution. Because it is fully
Web-based, CenterStone offers its customers two options for
deploying its solution:
- Hosted on secure web servers maintained by
Manhattan/CenterStone
- Installed on the customers own servers
Besides offering the hosted option that can greatly
reduce IT deployment time and cost, the CenterStone platform
was also architected specifically to address the three major
shortcomings of traditional tools, namely ease of use,
integration and data access and collaboration.
Other major CenterStone advantages include:
- Business process automation that can be accomplished
via an art workflow engine that allows clients to build,
execute and refine manual internal and collaborative
processes
- Ability to access and analyze workplace data from
multiple separate data stores and applications in one
central location
- Cross-enterprise integration for seamless
information exchange with Finance, HR and other
enterprise systems that drive real estate, facilities
and operations.
- More out of the box capabilities, with fast and
easy user configuration, in contrast to the steep
learning curve and heavy customization required with
competing products
- Executive dashboards and real-time reporting to
improve insight, planning and decision- making
- Easy access to CenterStone tools, reports,
information and data for both anyone in your
organization and your business partners and suppliers
using CenterStones web-based interface
- Excellent Autodesk compatibility
