FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 30, 2007
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 -- Dean Evans & Associates
(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 &
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.”
