What makes Bricsnet Retail different from other retail real estate management solutions?

Bricsnet focuses on providing Speed to Value in management of your Real Estate portfolio. Bricsnet's solutions offer broad and deep functionality, with business processes fully configurable to each customer's specific needs. But unlike many large systems, Bricsnet offers its clients rapid implementation, often in six months or less.

Bricsnet also understands that for our clients, technology is a means to an end. We provide world class technology solutions but we view our technology as part of a bigger solution that also includes expert advisory services geared toward customer understanding of how to best utilize our technology to solve real business problems. We pride ourselves on forming and sustaining strong working relationships with leading consultancies that help our clients zero in on the best use of technology to drive customer success.

How does Bricsnet provide Speed to Value when other companies can’t seem to do so?

• Bricsnet’s Speed to Value proposition relies on three major elements:
• Our technology: Bricsnet offers a standards-based, web architecture that installs and upgrades easily. Our system provides robust, out-of-box best practices for every aspect of real estate and workplace management, but can be configured with drag-and-drop ease to reflect the specific needs of your business.
• Our implementations: Bricsnet offers a well-tested implementation methodology that focuses with precision on your most pressing business needs, addressing them first and getting you up and running with the critical aspects of our solution. Implementations can take place all-at-once or in phases, depending on your timeline needs. And because we focus on Speed to Value, we keep your implementation costs down in the process.
• Our advisory services: Success depends not only on software, but on expert advice to help you get the most from your investment. Bricsnet has assembled an array of leading advisory services to guide and assist you with the real business issues you face –market analysis, site selection, regulatory compliance, lease auditing, process improvement, cost control and much more.

What if I only want to use parts of the Bricsnet solution?

Bricsnet Retail is completely modular. You can choose which aspects of Bricsnet you want to buy and use, and easily integrate with other solutions you already have in place to keep your costs down and avoid unnecessary disruption.

How expensive is Bricsnet?

Bricsnet offers the industry’s most flexible delivery options, in a way that is priced to meet your budget. If you would like a monthly subscription option to keep costs within your operating budget, a yearly hosted offering, or an Retail sale, let us develop the package that meets your requirements. Much of the cost of Retail software lies in costly, time-consuming implementation and support. Because Bricsnet focuses on Speed to Value, we cut both time and money from your implementation.

Is it difficult to learn how to use Bricsnet Retail?

Bricsnet’s goal is to provide the most user-friendly applications in the marketplace. We rely on standard web navigation conventions and present information wherever possible using common web tools, including mapping tools to help you visualize your portfolio.

Is the information secure?

Bricsnet’s flexible, role-based security model lets you determine – down to the field level if necessary – who can access information and what they can do with it. You can hide data from those who shouldn’t see it or make it view-only for those who need to see it but shouldn’t change it. Approval processes can be strictly enforced. And every change is fully audited, so that you know who made the change, what was changed and when – an important feature for meeting Sarbanes Oxley reporting requirements.

And with Bricsnet’s Hosted Services, you have the added security of SAS70 Type II compliance. Bricsnet has completed the stringent audit process required by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to ensure that the highest quality is maintained in our data center operations, so secure your data and support regulatory compliance.

What types of documents can be managed by Bricsnet Retail?

Bricsnet Retail manages any type of document. The system allows you to view and/or redline 200 file formats, including .doc (Microsoft Word), .xls (Microsoft Excel), .dwg (AutoCAD) and .dgn (MicroStation).

What is the technology behind Bricsnet Retail?

Bricsnet believes that the best technology solutions leverage industry standards, including emerging standards such as OSCRE. Our offerings are 100 percent Java-based, and offer a full Services Oriented Architecture, providing ease of integration to other critical business systems. Bricsnet made a strong decision three years ago to reinvest in technology by rebuilding our platform base to take advantage of Services Oriented Architectural tools and features, to the benefit of our client base. Bricsnet offers a robust and complete array of Web Services that constitutes a key component of our Speed to Value proposition. Additionally, we incorporate non-proprietary, standards-based tools wherever possible, including our workflow and reporting engines, reducing cost and providing enhanced value to our global customer base.
