ABSTRACT:
Enterprise spend on real estate and facilities lifecycle management ("REFLM") is over 30% of total spend for the average enterprise, yet, nearly 40% of enterprises report poor or no visibility into this significant category of spend and the processes that support it.

Aberdeen evaluated 254 enterprises in June 2007 and distinguished Best in Class enterprises by two key measures: percentage of REFLM spend under management and visibility into both spend and process. Best in Class enterprises in this study are notable for their superior performance and credit REFLM solutions for delivering the following benefits:

• 5.0% reduction in their total cost of occupancy

• 3.3% reduction in maintenance costs per square foot (psf.)

• 2.6% reduction in the cost of capital improvements

• 56% reduction in amount of time to close facility work orders
