JLL and ARCHIBUS Solutions Centers Australia (ASCA) have joined forces.
Under the new structure, JLL will become the largest licensed provider in Australia for the ARCHIBUS Inc. software, which helps organisations track, manage and optimise the use of their real estate footprint.
The software enables organisations to consolidate systems onto a single integrated platform for all the data, planning and operations of real estate, infrastructure and facilities.
ASCA has worked with more than half of all universities in Australia to implement ARCHIBUS in managing their real estate operations. The software is also widely used in the healthcare sector.
JLL’s head of digital solutions – Australia, Michael Taggart said the new partnership will bolster JLL’s position to develop and deliver best-in-class workplace management solutions to occupier clients.
“In addition, the U.S. based ARCHIBUS recently merged with Australian-founded company, Serraview which provides space management software. JLL will continue to offer the software of ARCHIBUS and Serraview along with other best-in-class workplace management solutions to help our clients maximise value in their real estate.
“ARCHIBUS offers a single integrated solution to support real estate and facilities management processes end-to-end, including operations and maintenance management, space planning, lease administration, capital project management and environmental sustainability,” he added.
“The merging of ASCA and JLL strengthens our capability in ARCHIBUS implementation and providing local support services in Australia, and adds to our dedicated ARCHIBUS practice of over 100 specialists around the world.
“With the addition of ASCA to the Digital Solutions team, JLL is even better positioned to develop and deliver best-in-class workplace management solutions. Our business also offers a broader suite of technology consulting services, including workplace apps and smart building solutions.” Taggart concluded.
