iVAULT Space Management: a case profile for Jones Lang LaSalle
With headquarters in Chicago, USA, Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) is a financial and professional services firm specializing in real estate services and investment management. JLL works with corporate occupiers with space requirements for better space utilization, managing costs, efficiency and performance of the real estate they own and occupy. JLL has more than 30,000 people in 750 locations in 60 that allows us to be flexible and countries.
Challenge: JLL had been an Autodesk MapGuide 6.5 customer for several years, and wanted to upgrade to MapGuide Open Source. JLL unsuccessfully pursued a customized solution before deciding to upgrade to iVAULT. System flexibility, stability and performance and user support were key business needs.
Solution: JLL chose Pacific Alliance Technologies given our MapGuide expertise, and our strength at rapid, configurable implementation. Combining this with iVAULT put them in control of their data for quick access and flexibility.
iVAULT was chosen as it is a commercial off the shelf software package that offers numerous benefits including an architecture that is tuned for easier data integration and that is configured rather than programmed. iVAULT enables JLL’s clients to query attributes of the CAD data used to manage millions of square feet of tenant space.
Results: JLL migrated to the MapGuide Open Source platform along with iVAULT, keeping MapGuide’s functionality with added flexibility. This gave JLL the ability to configure queries the way JLL want – meeting their business needs. iVAULT’s intuitive front-end made a smooth transition for users.
Steven Bogart, Jones Lang LaSalle Vice President, Manager Occupancy Planning – Corporate Solutions, said, “iVAULT has given us the flexibility and functionality we need to service multiple clients with varying requirements without the constant need for customization. The result is lower costs to us and to our clients and greater adaptability to meet our client’s unique and changing needs.”
