Case Study: NetApp achieves optimized global real estate portfolio and streamlined workplace operations with Trimble (CenterStone & Manhattan)

How Trimble Helps Optimize NetApp’s Real Estate Portfolio for Strategic Growth

NetApp, a Fortune 500 leader in data storage with 133 facilities totaling 3.9 million sq ft and more than 14,000 workers, faced growing complexity in real estate and workplace management during rapid global expansion. Onboarding/offboarding, space planning and moves were tracked with spreadsheets and paper across dispersed teams, resulting in inaccurate data, redundant workflows and poor visibility into space utilization, maintenance and lease needs.

Beginning in 2005 NetApp implemented Trimble CenterStone and is now migrating to Trimble Manhattan to centralize HR/finance/IT data, standardize moves/adds/changes workflows and run real-time “what-if” space scenarios. The integrated solution improved collaboration and forecasting, optimized space utilization and maintenance, reduced costs and enabled more effective, strategic management of NetApp’s global real estate portfolio.
