PRESS RELEASE: FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION
Planimetron
joins OSCRE
May 1, 2010 —
OSCRE (Open Standards Consortium for Real
Estate), a non-profit organization which drives the development
and adoption of e-business standards has announced that Planimetron Inc.
has joined OSCRE as part of its continuing commitment
to data standardization and focus on globalization.
By joining OSCRE
and other industry experts, Planimetron will contribute its knowledge and
expertise in the areas of space management and
space measurement (Planimetron
is the developer of the product BOMA StandardWare). With several of
North America’s largest real estate companies as clients, Planimetron
brings both corporate as well as commercial expertise to the table.
“We hope to learn from as well as
share insight with the other members for OSCRE as we expand outside of
our North American market. Canada is often
seen as a bridge between the US and Europ since we utilize multiple
languages and measurement systems," says Annette Wilde, Director & VP Client
Services at Planimetron Inc. “We are eager to add to the robustness that
OSCRE standards provide.”
As seasoned system integrators with
extensive property management data mining tools, Planimetron continues
to adapt to global standards and address the needs of customers around
the world. “A leasing executive or asset manager needs to see consistent
information, be it area measurements, turnover statistics or tenant
sales analysis for all of their properties whether those properties are
in London, Toronto, New York or Shanghai. At the same time, local real
estate professionals need to see the same information in their local
standard. Planimetron’s signature method of displaying data in
interactive coloured representations, such as floor plans and stacking
diagrams, is the natural method
of illustrating
information in this way. This is our mission...” says
Robert Parfet,
VP of Development.
