IWMS expert and Lucernex President, Joe Valeri (see Joe’s management summary here), discuss the risk of NOT buying a Software as a Service (SaaS) Cloud delivered solution.
Since Gartner coined the term IWMS and lumped in all similar vendors including those focused on Store Lifecycle Management (SLM), it has become increasing hard to tell the difference between IWMS and SLM. Some companies provide SLM, or a point solution and call themselves IWMS and others are truly IWMS vendors and call themselves SLM but just within the retail industry. In truth, while there is an overlap of some of the core features there are marked differences in the needs of the end user, the focus of the applications and how the solutions were developed and are delivered.

In 2009, Ken Brown, former CEO and Founder of National Facilities Group and the designer of the SLIM Lease Administration solution, joined Lucernex. He along with Lucernex’s President Joe Valeri and former Workplace IQ/Siteseer executive Howard Zola, set out to design a new module of Lx IWMS to manage all Leases and Contracts. The results is Lx Contracts!, a 100% web-based Lease Administration and Contract Management tool. SLIM was the first major lease administration solution to hit the market in the late 1980′s and was managed and developed by Ken until 2003. Ken’s expertise with all of the major lease administration tools including SLIM, REM, Siteseer and RetaiLease allowed Lucernex to create the new industry standard product for Lease Administration and Contract Management.

Replace Accruent SLM, IWMS, SLIM, REM with Lx Retail
Accruent’s Store Lifecycle Management (SLM) product sold to dozens of retailer and corporate users since 2004 came about due to a license sold to Accruent by Lucernex in 2003 allowing Accruent to market the Lucernex IWMS solution under the Accruent name. The core of the Accruent solution remains, in large part, the 3.81 version of Lx Retail. Lucernex has since updated the location performance management software and is now at version 9.0 having made vast improvements in the capability. The former creator of SLIM, Ken Brown, is now in charge of Lucernex product design and development after selling the SLIM product and his company, National Facilities Group, to Accruent in 2003. As a result Lucernex can provide the smoothest transition for current Accruent clients.
No first year software cost!!
To make this easy to budget, Lucernex will convert any Accruent client to Lx Retail and charge no first year fee for the software. In addition, as a conversion from Accruent is really more of a simple upgrade into the newer version of Lucernex, our professional services team will charge a simple cost plus 20% for the project.
No one can convert you from Accruent faster, cheaper or more accurately than Lucernex!
Please use our Product Information page if you are interested in talking to an Lucernex representative about our Accruent upgrade.
