by Rebecca Walker — March 2, 2011—PeopleCube, provider of intelligent workplace management technology, has launched Workplace BI 2.0, a real estate business intelligence tool used to capture workspace-utilization data from multiple points and present the information through interactive visualizations.
These visualizations, driven by technology from PeopleCube partner Tableau Software, enable organizations to measure, monitor, and analyze real-estate utilization trends so they can identify organizational inefficiencies and make adjustments to improve real-estate performance and reduce costs, says PeopleCube.
A free informational webinar about Workplace BI 2.0 has been scheduled for Wednesday, March 9, at 12:00pm ET; registrations are currently being accepted online.
Workplace BI 2.0 allows users to thoroughly analyze their real-estate utilization data using interactive visualization dashboards to understand exactly how their real estate and assets are being used, according to the company. Users can interact with these visualizations to explore real estate utilization trends on a global scale all the way down to an individual cubicle or office to get a greater perspective on precisely when, how, and by whom space is being used. In this way, companies can gain a better grasp on the exact usage of their real estate and organizational assets.
Capturing room and resource reservation data from PeopleCube’s scheduling software, occupancy detection data from PeopleCube’s PeopleCounter, security information from badge readers and/or network transaction data enables Workplace BI to present via interactive visualizations the inefficiencies taking place within an organization.
Data is shown in a simple dashboard format that allows users to create the visualizations they desire quickly and easily. In the same window they are able to modify charts and graphs and compare them to other visualizations to analyze their real estate and resource utilization. What’s more, users can share and publish these web-based visualizations just as easily as they create them, so this vital information can be distributed throughout the entire organization.
