Trimble Acquires Manhattan Software [Professional Services Close - Up](Professional Services Close - Up Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Trimble has acquired privately-held Manhattan Software. According to a company release, the acquisition extends its Trimble Buildings' portfolio of design-build-operate (DBO) solutions by providing building owners, facilities and real estate managers with integrated, property, asset and facilities management systems. Financial terms were not disclosed. "Facilities and real estate management has become one of the most strategically important parts of an organization's operational structure-and where the majority of the costs reside for building owners and occupants," said Bryn Fosburgh, vice president responsible for Trimble's Construction Technology Divisions. "Trimble's focus is to transform the workplace of the future by providing holistic tools to property owners, occupiers and managers to drive agility, efficiency and insight across the lifecycle from planning and design, through transactions, building occupancy and operations. Our acquisition of Manhattan Software will enable customers to leverage the data and intelligence gained through construction and renovation workflows, and to achieve benefits that endure throughout the full operational lifecycle of buildings." "Buildings are by nature spatial, making it essential for owners to visualize their usage, performance and costs," said Steve Vatidis, founder of Manhattan Software. "By combining Manhattan's leading IWMS and CAFM solutions with Trimble's depth of spatial and modeling technologies-including BIM, scanning, mobility and more-we are excited about our ability to redefine the future of workplace management innovation." Manhattan Software is a provider of real estate and facility management software.
