SAN JOSE, Calif./EWORLDWIRE/June 3, 2004 --- Portman Management Company today announced that it has selected Landport's on-line facilities management system for its buildings, clients and service providers. Landport is the pioneer in automated property and facilities management systems. Portman Management Company at Sun Trust Plaza is fully operational with Landport.Managing distributed, multi-tenant office properties is an ongoing challenge for virtually all property managers. As organizations like Portman Management Company audit and assess their physical infrastructure, and the needs of their tenants, many are looking to automation as a way to improve productivity and reduce facilities management costs.

Landport is an Internet-Driven(TM), automated property and facilities management system that fully automates tenants, property manager and service provider interactions. Landport enables tenant/manager and manager/service provider transactions such as preventive maintenance and work order management. Landport provides tenants with the ability to report problems and request services using their web browser. Facilities managers and service providers are immediately notified, allowing them to quickly take action.
According to Michael Destro, General Manager of SunTrust Plaza, "We looked at several web based service management systems and chose Landport because it provided all the bells and whistles of the systems we had seen, but for a much better price." We now have an integrated service management system incorporating wireless PDAs, which instantly tracks, distributes, records and informs all involved parties of the exact status of the progress of all service requests made at SunTrust Plaza."
