BusinessSolve extends trial as demand soars for Pilot Trial Program of it its intuitive resource scheduling solutions

10 November 2008, London, UK – BusinessSolve, a world leader in resource scheduling solutions has announced it is extending the Pilot Trial Program for its popular workspace scheduling solution, Workspace Manager, following increasing interest from organisations in the financial services, mobile operator and utility sectors. With enterprises and organisations under increasing pressure to reduce their real estate costs as the financial market’s fluctuations impact businesses globally, Workspace Manager can help some companies realise real estate savings by as much as 30%, according to Advanced Workplace Associates, the UK’s leading independent workplace transformation consultancy.

With the growing threat of a serious global recession, there is now a real and immediate requirement to reduce costs either by better managing available workspace, or downsizing to smaller facilities. However, both options require new working practices to be introduced, such as flexible desking and remote working. For these working practises to operate smoothly, the deployment of an award-winning workspace scheduling solution like Workspace Manager is essential.

Companies and organisations committed to their current premises can benefit from participating in the Workspace Manager Pilot Program, as it can help facility managers optimize the efficient use of available space by up to 30%. Intuitive to use and capable of delivering ROI within just weeks, Workspace Manager is quick to deploy and simple to configure. It can be tailored to adhere to an organisation’s preferred method of working, and the interface can be branded to reflect an organisation's image.

Nigel Reading, Business Development Director at BusinessSolve, said: “Many companies and organisations have already participated in the Pilot Program, as they realise it is the first step toward making considerable cost savings in order to remain competitive. Extending the Pilot Program will allow more companies to respond effectively to today’s challenging and rapidly changing trading conditions, as well as meeting their long term business and real estate objectives.”

Notes to editors:
*Saving based on the assumption that Workspace Manager can enable typical organizations to get 20-30% more people working from the same space. If a typical office workstation costs circa $10,000 per annum, then for a building with 1000 seats the building could accommodate 1300 people. Assuming that the additional 300 people have come from another building - which can now be released to the market - the saving would be $3m a year.
