The Manhattan Difference
The Integrated Solution for Workplace Management

In today’s demanding business environment, the workplace has risen to a more strategic level of visibility and scrutiny. Workplace costs represent the second highest P&L expense for most large organizations. The overall workplace environment, including real estate, facilities, IT and services, has become a major focus of savings, productivity and innovation.

With an increasing focus on cost and execution, the traditional ad-hoc approach to managing workplace information and business processes from separate islands is no longer sufficient. Organizations that want to maximize utilization and efficiency, improve strategic planning and minimize occupancy and operations costs are driving the market for an integrated approach to workplace management, which is embodied in Manhattan's solution.

Point solutions to manage specific functions such as facilities, leases, operations, assets, moves and projects or traditional software “tool-sets” that have tried to assemble disparate functionality or transition legacy applications to the Web cannot address these collaboration challenges and provide the business value required by today’s workplace.

In contrast, Manhattan was developed from the ground up as an integrated, Web-based solution to address workplace challenges at the strategic level and provide best of breed functionality in a single, integrated platform. The result is a highly configurable solution that is easier to deploy and easier to use than competing solutions.

Here are some of the key differentiators that provide clear benefits to Manhattan clients like AIG, Bank of America, Dell, EMC, Sanofi-Aventis and State Street Corporation:
