Executive Summary

This report provides Heads of Strategy and Product Development at real estate and facilities management software firms with an analysis of integrated workplace management system (IWMS) vendor geographic expansion activities in Asia, Europe and North America. An analysis of recent partnerships, acquisitions and office opening reveals that Europe-headquartered IWMS majors are steadily building up a US presence, private equity backed IWMS vendors are prioritizing cross Atlantic expansion and the Asia-Pacific has been garnering attention from IWMS vendors. This report outlines the three critical factors real estate and facilities management software firms should review as they evaluate and plan international expansion. This report prompts business leaders from IWMS, computer-aided facilities management (CAFM) and computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) vendors to challenge their business planning assumptions.
