Case Study
IWMS Platform Strategy For A Government Agency
Company: Government Agency
Industry: Government

Challenge
Our client was looking to introduce a portfolio-led approach to managing its property assets to drive efficiency gains across its real estate portfolio. As part of this they wanted to review the digital tools currently in use, specifically the integrated workplace management systems (IWMS), with the aim to reduce the complexity of its digital landscape and consolidate solutions over the next three years.
Solution
To address this Verdantix proposed a strategic solution that encompassed the following steps:
- Stakeholder Engagement: Verdantix ran interviews with key stakeholder groups to gain insight into the current priorities and challenges, and to identify future IWMS requirements.
- Vendor Assessment: leveraging the existing product benchmark, known as the "Green Quadrant: Integrated Workplace Management Systems" Verdantix initiated the process by shortlisting commercial IWMS software solutions. These selections were based on the client's specific business requirements, including technical, functional, and organizational considerations. During this process Verdantix also scheduled demonstrations with the clients existing IWMS solution providers to probe on future product roadmap and capability strengths.
- Comparative Strength Assessment: Verdantix assessed the relative strength of the shortlisted IWMS software solutions in comparison to the client's existing suppliers.
- Digital Platform Strategy: Verdantix created a customized digital platform strategy for our client, covering deployment plans and next steps for executing the strategy.
Outcome
The streamlined approach taken by Verdantix yielded tangible results including:
- Informed Decision-Making: following the project our client had a formalized IWMS software strategy and had identified a short-list of best-fit vendors.
- Time and Resource Savings: the accelerated decision-making process saved the company significant time and resources that would have otherwise been spent on extensive due diligence and evaluation of potential software vendors.
In conclusion, Verdantix's data-driven approach to software selection enabled the client to quickly identify existing and future business requirements for their IWMS solution and identify a shortlist of best-fit vendors that could address these critical business challenge.
