ActivePlan
is a breakthrough technology designed to fill the gap
that exists between the management systems of clients
and their suppliers, not simply translating reports,
but interacting directly with the databases of each
application allowing the detailed background information
to be accessed.
The underlying principle of ActivePlan is that people
should be allowed to use the applications that best
suit their particular function or activity. Some “experts”
recommend that clients force suppliers to use a single,
or significantly rationalised, applications platform
but the evidence shows that different people using the
same application are equally able to generate data that
does not interchange easily.
The ActivePlan solution
focuses on the quality and structure of the data produced
by each application, not the applications themselves.
By researching the previous failures and successes,
the ActivePlan solution combines processes; advanced
technology and recognition of the part people have to
play in a successful, and more importantly sustainable,
implementation of an effective system.
ActivePlan acts as a
“glue”
that allows previously incompatible software applications
to be linked together and provide clients with the means
to understand how their space is being used, what impact
it is having on their core business processes and also
give them the opportunity to experiment with “what
if’s” to arrive at the optimum layouts going
forward.
The fact that ActivePlan
works with existing data sets, being ownardly generated
and maintained by established processes, implementation
is far easier than is the norm both in terms of initial
data assimilation and overcoming the natural concerns
of individual departmental stakeholder who actually
become keen to see their data contributing to a wider
whole that will be used by senior management to steer
the business.
Marketing
- ActivePlan
is able to engage at a detailed operational level
in a business or organisation so the marketing message
will vary according to the type of facility. Also,
because we are keen to lock into tangible and demonstrable
added value, we are focusing on five (albeit large)
sectors:
This will allow us to achieve high visibility with
the first few projects, benefit from references from
successful implementations and develop the metrics
to measure the value delivered.
The marketing strategy is to identify suppliers of
existing services into each of these sectors and allow
them to integrate ActivePlan
into their solutions/services to generate added value
services and then give the client organisation the
option of licensing ActivePlan directly.
A specific selling proposition will be created for
each sector that identifies the benefits for both
the client and the consultant. |
