Dean Evans & Associates, Inc. Partners With Advanced Spatial technologies to Provide Integrated Scheduling and Space Management Solutions in Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific Region

Integration of EMS and FM:Interact Systems Will Simplify Collaboration Between Meeting Coordinators and Facility Managers


DENVER, CO and PERTH, AUSTRALIA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- January 30, 2007 -- Dean Evans & Associates (DEA) (www.dea.com), a leading provider of facility and resource scheduling and office hoteling systems, today announced that it has partnered with Advanced Spatial technologies (ASt) (www.advancedspatial.com.au), who will begin marketing the Event Management System (EMS) product line in the Australia/New Zealand/Asia Pacific region. While ASt will sell DEA products independently in some settings, integration with the FM:Interact Workplace Management Suite will be a key feature of many sales opportunities.

EMS software is used to reserve rooms for meetings and events, secure the associated resources (equipment, catering, etc.), book temporary office space for mobile workers (hoteling), and provide a web-based master calendar of events. With the integration of EMS and FM:Interact, meeting coordinators and facility managers will benefit from the sharing of data in a variety of ways, including time savings, error reduction and streamlined internal communication.

"This partnership will have a very positive impact on our customers and our companies," says Don Hitchcock, managing director of ASt. "Whether a client's situation calls for EMS alone or the integrated EMS/FM:Interact system, they will see increased productivity and will be able to provide their internal customers with significantly enhanced customer service. We're excited to have Dean Evans & Associates as a strategic partner."

"ASt's reputation as a trusted source for facility management solutions in Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific region will be invaluable as we look to establish our company in this market," says Kevin Raasch, executive vice president for Dean Evans and Associates. "While EMS is already being used by some industry-leading organizations in Australia, we want to increase awareness of our products in the region. We're eager to begin working with Advanced Spatial technologies."
