Enhanced Business Intelligence Functionality to Provide Even Greater Support to Corporate Real Estate Decision Makers

DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - August 14, 2009) - Dean Evans & Associates (www.dea.com) is now providing information on new analytics and real estate reporting functionality that will be found in updates to its facility scheduling and resource management systems. The products will be made available to customers within the next two weeks. Used at more than 3,600 customer sites in the U.S. and abroad, EMS (Event Management Systems) software provides powerful tools for helping organizations manage their real estate portfolios more effectively, maximize resource availability, reduce overhead and streamline facility operations.

"For years, leading companies have used the analysis tools and utilization reports that come standard in our Enterprise-level systems to help manage shared workspaces and meeting rooms, and guide their real estate and business process decisions," says Kevin Raasch, executive vice president of Dean Evans & Associates. "And it's no surprise that they take great care in making those decisions, as they affect the second highest corporate expenditure after payroll."

"The enhanced business intelligence functionality in our latest releases -- from reports that give even more penetrating views into usage trends to one-click access to the benchmarking and analytics tools that decision makers rely on -- will provide everyone from executive management to daily operations personnel with the metrics they need to be effective," he adds.

Other features in the latest releases provide new or enhanced methods for submitting and accessing the data that enables accurate business analysis. They include mobile device capability, enhanced office "hoteling" tools and improvements to the EMS for Outlook® interface.

Detailed information on the new versions of each of the products in the EMS suite is available now in free webinars (www.dea.com/NewsAndEvents/FreeWebinars.aspx) and directly from the company's sales representatives, and will soon be accessible at www.dea.com.
