Indian Wells, Calif., March 31, 2009 – Accruent, Inc., the leading provider of real estate and facilities management solutions, reached an important milestone today with the completion of the process to integrate FAMIS Software, Inc., which it acquired in February 2008. The combined operations will now operate under the Accruent company name and will continue to develop, market and support products bearing both the Accruent and FAMIS brand names.
Announcing the news to hundreds of customers representing organizations as diverse as top retailers, major universities, government bodies, and corporations at the company’s annual Insights user conference here today, Mark Friedman, CEO of Accruent, said, “What unites our customers is the strategic value of their real estate and facilities. It is where their success happens – whether that means connecting with their customers, providing an environment where students can thrive, building facilities that are aligned with business strategy, or ensuring that the public is served.”
Accruent has assembled a unique breadth and depth of product capabilities and delivery expertise that spans both its Accruent and FAMIS operations equally. Every facet of the company’s operations is now geared to support both of the company’s product lines.
Addressing Accruent’s immediate customer focus, Mr. Friedman continued, “In times of economic stress, organizations turn to their real estate and facilities to identify immediate capital and expense reductions. We understand the initiatives our customers are pursuing, and we want to ensure that every customer is getting the maximum return on their investments in Accruent and FAMIS at this critical time.”
During the conference, Accruent managers described a series of packaged solutions that match customers’ immediate needs. Many of these solutions require little or no incremental customer investment. Customer participants also shared their expertise and best practices with audiences of their peers to ensure that every attendee returns from Insights ‘09 ready to make an impact on their organization’s success.
