| BusinessSolve Announces U.S. Product Integration BusinessSolve has announced that it is set to further expand its global presence following a distribution and product integration agreement with NetSimplicity, a division of Asure Software. Under the terms of the agreement, NetSimplicity will offer BusinessSolve's Workspace Manager as the NetSimplicity Mobile Workforce Manager for resale in the United States. Mobile Workforce Manager can be easily integrated with NetSimplicity's Meeting Room Manager room scheduling solution, or offered as a stand-alone solution. Against the backdrop of today's challenging resource and credit environment and the need to lower corporate carbon footprints, many leading companies and organisations are reducing their real estate costs and energy consumption by downsizing to smaller, more cost-effective premises. Downsizing is often a catalyst for companies to adopt and encourage remote working and hot desking working practises. Mobile Work Force Manager enables flexible working via hoteling (reservation-based unassigned seating) and hot desking (reservation-less unassigned seating) to be applied successfully. Employees can easily pre-book desks and other essential office resources in advance via a web browser or via an on-site, touch screen panel, when travelling between facilities. The ability to pre-book a designated desk overcomes the main objection to hot desking; the uncertainty of knowing what work-related resources and desks will be available upon arrival at work. Easy to integrate with existing scheduling solutions, Mobile Workforce Manager can be offered to ensure companies can realise their investment by improving utilisation of expensive workspace, while offering employees the benefits of increased mobility and flexibility. To enable companies to develop a better understanding of how resources and facilities are currently used, Mobile Workforce Manager also provides detailed management information, thus enabling informed decisions to be made about short-term and long-term future building needs. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Computing News :: home page |
