Tenants Access Modern Technology through Innovative Service

SAN DIEGO, March 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- BBL Inc. announced today that it has upgraded the technology services available to its tenants by converting its properties into inSmart™ Buildings, where connectivity and enterprise class information technology solutions are readily available at prices geared toward the budgets of small and medium sized tenants.  inSmart is offered through inBuilding Services Corporation, the leading provider of building-based, technology solutions.

"When we acquire a property, we look at ways to deliver the technology our tenants need at significantly reduced costs and which saves them time. inSmart hits both targets for us," commented Casey Brown, president of BBL Inc., a San Diego-based commercial real estate investment firm.  "Internet access and advanced IT services are vital necessities for tenants, and inSmart delivers a compelling solution and makes it easily available for our tenants.  We know because we use them too.  They saved us time and money and delivered better services for our building and internal operations, as well as for our tenants."

"BBL is the type of property owner we appreciate, and we know the tenants appreciate," added Joe E. Russell, president of inBuilding.  "They are keenly aware of their tenants' needs and were looking for ways to improve services for them and reduce their costs.  We are excited for the opportunity to work with them and their tenants."

Access to advanced communication services has become one of the most important leasing considerations behind only location, rate and parking.  While the services have evolved quickly, the way the services are obtained has not.  Smaller tenants are forced to search around for providers and try to understand technical jargon while juggling the needs of their businesses.  Furthermore, most tenants have limited bargaining power to obtain discounts unless they are part of a large enterprise company.

inBuilding works with building owners and property managers to provide them a competitive advantage to attract and retain tenants and to accelerate revenues by enabling tenants to move in sooner. Additionally, inBuilding licenses owners to market their buildings as inSmart™ Buildings in contrast to "non-smart" buildings which lack the services. 

For tenants, inSmart's transformative approach lowers total cost of occupancy, improves productivity and enhances satisfaction in their office spaces.  inSmart's service as a solution (SaaS) resolves several disruptive trends for tenants including the increased drive by companies to move to the "cloud", scarce IT resources, strong demand for Internet access, and antiquated software solutions. From high speed Internet access and Voice over IP solutions, to Microsoft's Office 365 suite of solutions, inBuilding delivers solutions tenants need for today's business world.
