IWMS expert and Lucernex President, Joe Valeri (see Joe’s management summary here), discusses the differences between a single platform and multi-platform IWMS and why you should care.
Have you ever looked at an older house and noted how it’s had extensions added that don’t fit the original house? Whether it’s the pattern of the windows, the exterior surface or the shape of the extension that does not match you can tell it’s just not right and makes the whole structure look bad. Inside the house, the switch and outlet layout in the new rooms are different and the plumbing does not work as well as it did before. The air conditioning doesn’t get the house as cool and even the foundation of the house is cracking because the new and old sections are settling differently.

Lucernex expert and President Joe Valeri (see Joe’s management summary here) provides a start to the conversation.
The term “Integrated Workplace Management Systems” or “IWMS” was coined by Michael Bell formerly of The Gartner Group. This new term was then used as the basis for producing an IWMS market assessment including a Gartner Magic Quadrant. This type of assessment is commonly produced by Gartner to compare technology vendors in many industries. Without a common term, in this case IWMS, there would have been no way to ‘lump’ a bunch of vendors together into a comparison document. In reality, at the time the term was coined, the vendors thrown into the IWMS bucket were very dissimilar and often addressed very different markets. Since then, however, using the IWMS blueprint provided in the IWMS market analysis containing the Magic Quadrant, the vendors have actually enhanced their products, changed messaging and in some cases merged to better fit the image of “IWMS”. While features of the vendors have grown more similar, they remain different in some very important ways, most notably their expertise in specific customer bases and specific functionality that addresses that base.

Replace Accruent SLM, IWMS, SLIM, REM with Lx Retail
Accruent’s Store Lifecycle Management (SLM) product sold to dozens of retailer and corporate users since 2004 came about due to a license sold to Accruent by Lucernex in 2003 allowing Accruent to market the Lucernex IWMS solution under the Accruent name. The core of the Accruent solution remains, in large part, the 3.81 version of Lx Retail. Lucernex has since updated the location performance management software and is now at version 9.0 having made vast improvements in the capability. The former creator of SLIM, Ken Brown, is now in charge of Lucernex product design and development after selling the SLIM product and his company, National Facilities Group, to Accruent in 2003. As a result Lucernex can provide the smoothest transition for current Accruent clients.
No first year software cost!!
To make this easy to budget, Lucernex will convert any Accruent client to Lx Retail and charge no first year fee for the software. In addition, as a conversion from Accruent is really more of a simple upgrade into the newer version of Lucernex, our professional services team will charge a simple cost plus 20% for the project.
No one can convert you from Accruent faster, cheaper or more accurately than Lucernex!
Please use our Product Information page if you are interested in talking to an Lucernex representative about our Accruent upgrade.

Lucernex expert and EVP Ken Brown’s (see Ken’s management summary here) response to IWMSNews post: See the post here
and the ICAMS Facility Leadership post: See the post here
Having been involved with the IWMS industry for over 25 years, I have seen many trends come and go including some of the early attempts by the commercial real estate firms to enter the lease administration software business when outsourcing first appeared, to the focus on retailers, the shift toward real estate life-cycle and IWMS to the more recent set of events attempting to consolidate the industry. I sold my company, National Facilities Group, Inc. (the SLIM product) several years ago to Accruent and know what it means to be acquired and how it affects products and clients. In my case, there were a number of factors that made the event successful including the huge economic growth that was happening, the move to large suites of point-solutions – creating full real estate lifecycle applications and the fact that there was no clear leader in the space.
