CenterStone and Oracle deliver integrated solution for corporate real estate execs

October 3, 2005—CenterStone Software, Inc., a leader in Web-based solutions to manage corporate real estate, facilities, and workplace operations announces CenterStone's e-CenterOne integration has been validated with Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise 8.9 Asset Management.

By connecting space management and planning capabilities in eCenterOne with leasing and financial applications in Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise 8.9, this integration provides the precise, real-time information executives need to make the most informed decisions for their businesses, says CenterStone.

Tying information such as head counts, allocations, floor plans, and assets in eCenterOne with properties, rentable square footage, and status in PeopleSoft 8.9 allows organizations to track and forecast utilization and occupancy, automate Move/Add/Change processes and accurately measure cost allocations and chargebacks among business units. This, maintains CenterStone, helps organizations to prevent costly excess space commitments, support growth plans, and avoid missed opportunities for savings.

Integration between Oracle's PeopleSoft 8.9 and eCenterOne is facilitated through a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) for sharing information on employees, spaces, assets, and leases. For more information on Oracle and its Partner Network, visit the Web site.
