Transforming Workspace Management: The Role and Impact of Integrated Workplace Management Systems
Previously, the majority of small-scale businesses operated within localized markets or served specific regions or countries. However, as these businesses expanded, they found themselves catering to multiple locations, which presented challenges in managing their operations centrally. With the advent of globalization, businesses began to establish international operations, embracing digitalization and innovative technologies. In response to the growing complexities of managing dispersed operations, organizations turned to Integrated Workplace Management Systems (IWMS).
An IWMS is a software solution designed to help organizations effectively manage their entire property portfolio and make informed decisions regarding expansion, renovation, and replacement. By leveraging IWMS technology, management professionals, real estate managers, IT teams, and finance departments can focus on critical areas and streamline strategic decision-making processes. Beyond traditional functions like bill payments and rent management, IWMS enables organizations to handle space and facilities management, real estate administration, lease management, maintenance coordination, capital project oversight, and sustainability and energy management.
These comprehensive capabilities provided by IWMS solutions contribute to prolonging the lifespan of properties, analyzing various costs, forecasting future demands and expenditures, planning real estate operations, and optimizing energy consumption. Additionally, IWMS solutions offer Computer-Aided Design (CAD) functionalities, allowing organizations to visualize buildings and assets, facilitating efficient space allocation and asset management. Furthermore, IWMS supports diversification and expansion efforts by aiding in property rental, acquisition, and leasing activities.
Integrated Workplace Management Systems empowers organizations to make informed decisions through scenario testing and data-driven analysis, considering factors such as opportunity cost, required investment, return on investment, and asset depreciation. Once capital projects are approved, IWMS provides real-time insights into project status and facilitates accounting processes in accordance with local and global standards.
Augmented with automation and artificial intelligence (AI), IWMS offers advanced features such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) for immersive floor plans, space utilization reporting for optimizing workspace efficiency, and predictive analytics for forecasting and recommending strategic actions. IWMS also supports effective space management, ensuring maximum occupancy without compromising employee experience. Vendors are incorporating emerging technologies like AI, machine learning, sensors, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to enhance facility visibility, anticipate maintenance needs, and reduce downtime and costs associated with asset breakdowns.
Moreover, IWMS solutions enhance employee experience by providing self-service portals and mobile capabilities for booking shared spaces, requesting maintenance, and navigating office layouts. This self-service functionality streamlines real estate management processes, minimizing response times to employee requests.
Various deployment options, including cloud-based solutions, on-premises installations, and hybrid models, cater to diverse organizational preferences. However, multi-tenant Software as a Service (SaaS) deployments are currently favored by end-users due to their scalability and accessibility.
The industrial application of IWMS is expected to experience exponential growth, driven by the integration of AI, machine learning, sensors, and IoT technologies, which enhance service capabilities and streamline enterprise asset management. Future IWMS developments may leverage APIs to integrate multiple standalone systems, providing organizations with comprehensive capabilities across various service requirements.
Quadrant Knowledge Solutions defines IWMS as a software platform that centralizes organizational assets and databases to optimize real estate, facilities, projects, and maintenance cycles, promoting sustainability and facilitating enterprise-wide facility management. IWMS solutions foster inclusivity and engagement among stakeholders, enabling real-time responses and strategic decision-making to address critical events and enhance facility operations.
Key trends among IWMS providers include adapting product offerings to post-pandemic working models, such as remote-first, office-occasional, and office-first approaches. Vendors are prioritizing solutions that support health and safety standards compliant with regional and industry regulations.
Additionally, IWMS vendors are collaborating with organizations to implement strategies for maintaining safe work environments during and after the pandemic. These strategies include health screenings, ventilation improvements, capacity restrictions, and enhanced cleaning protocols.
Integration of Integrated Workplace Management Systems with IoT devices to manage internal environmental parameters, such as lighting and temperature, is gaining traction among leading vendors. Furthermore, there is a growing demand for immersive digital experiences in IWMS, leveraging virtual reality (VR) technology to enhance collaboration and communication through virtual meetings and 3D visualization of facilities and equipment.

Moderating Inflation & Final Fed Meeting Clear Path for late-December Surge
Tumblr media
This week’s CPI and PPI releases showed the moderating trend of inflation continues. Prices are still rising just at a slower pace and the rate of change could finally fall back before the Fed’s target of 2% next year. In response to and in anticipation of lower interest rates, the market has enjoyed above average gains in December.
As of the close on December 12, DJIA was up 1.74%, S&P 500 +1.66%, NASDAQ +2.16% and Russell 2000 up an impressive 3.99% (right side vertical axis of chart above). The market did experience some typical early December weakness this year after bucking the trend of weakness on the first trading day. Even though the market has already enjoyed above average gains this month, we still anticipate more to come with the potential for a new all-time closing high from DJIA before year end.

What to expect from the stock market this week
Tumblr media
Last week, the review of the macro market indicators saw with the May options expiry in the books, equity markets showed renewed strength moving to new all-time highs. Elsewhere looked for Gold ($GLD) to continue its uptrend while Crude Oil ($USO) consolidated in a pullback. The US Dollar Index ($DXY) continued to pullback in its short term uptrend while US Treasuries ($TLT) bounced in their downtrend. The Shanghai Composite ($ASHR) looked to continue the short term move higher while Emerging Markets ($EEM) built a short term uptrend.
The Volatility Index ($VXX) looked to remain very low and stable making the path easier for equity markets to the upside. Their charts looked strong, especially on the longer timeframe. On the shorter timeframe both the $QQQ and $SPY were now consolidating moves to new all-time highs with the $IWM closing in on 2½ year highs.
The week played out with Gold peaking with an all-time high Monday before dropping back the rest of the week while Crude Oil broke its consolidation to the downside. The US Dollar found support and bounced to a lower top while Treasuries fell back from a lower high. The Shanghai Composite fell back to support while Emerging Markets retrenched in their short term uptrend.
Volatility fell to a nearly 5 year low before a bounce but it remained below the teens. This put pressure on equities late in the week and they responded by selling off Thursday. All reversed Friday to finish the week little changed. This resulted in the SPY and IWM ending slightly lower with the QQQ near its all-time high from earlier in the week. What does this mean for the coming week? Let’s look at some charts.
SPY Daily, $SPY
Tumblr media
The SPY came into the week just pennies off the all-time high, in a short consolidation. It printed new all-time highs Monday and Tuesday, but it failed to move significantly away from the 138.2% extension of the retracement of the 2022 move lower at 530. Wednesday saw little change and then Thursday it moved higher in the pre-market then sold off all day to drop back to nearly fill the gap from May 15th. It printed an outside day that was a bearish Marubozu that measured to a retest of the end of March high. Friday did not see any follow through as it rebounded and had a tight range inside day. The RSI on the daily chart has pulled back from over bought in the bullish zone with the MACD rolling over towards a cross down.
The weekly chart printed a doji, an indecision candle, near the top of the 4 week run higher. The RSI is rolling though at a lower level, creating a bearish divergence with price. Too early to act on this but something to watch. The MACD, on the other hand, is looking to cross back higher and positive. There is resistance at 530 and a target on the Cup and Handle above that to 560 near the 161.8% extension of that retracement. Support lower is at 524.50 and 520.50 then 517.50 and 513.50 before 510 and 503.50. Uptrend.
SPY Weekly, $SPY
Tumblr media
With the unofficial start of summer Monday and just 4 trading days left in May, equity markets were mixed with tech strong, large caps flat and small caps lower. Elsewhere look for Gold to continue to consolidate in the uptrend while Crude Oil resumes a short term downtrend. The US Dollar Index may resume the short term move lower while US Treasuries remain in a downtrend. The Shanghai Composite looks to pause in the short term move higher while Emerging Markets may be confirming a failed break out higher.
The Volatility Index looks to remain very low and stable making the path easier for equity markets to the upside. The charts of the SPY and QQQ look strong, especially on the longer timeframe. On the shorter timeframe the QQQ is also strong with the SPY in consolidation. The IWM continues to be the outlier, consolidating at a higher range. Use this information as you prepare for the coming week and trad’em well.

Battle No. 337, dated 17 October 1981. Charley's War cover by Joe Colquhoun. The cover image is similar to that of Joe's cover for the first Charley's War collection from Titan which was released around 1986.
Tumblr media
The inspiration for it thought is undoubtedly the photograph of a British soldier beside the grave of a comrade during the Third Battle of Ypres, 22nd August 1917.

Something's been bugging me about the new Coyotl model. When I first got it I noticed that it (the model) seemingly lacked arm actuators beyond the shoulder, so I got excited that it might be a flippy arm mech.
Then I looked at the record sheet

Hey CGL what the heck are these arms? :(

Thursday Historically Most Bullish Day Before Memorial Day
Tumblr media
Friday before Memorial Day has become getaway day on The Street and trading can be lackluster with light volume. Dow has been up 12 times in the last 21 years with an average gain of 0.08%. S&P has a modestly better record, with one additional advance and an average gain of 0.16%. NASDAQ has the best record on Friday, up 15 of 21 and averages a respectable 0.38% gain. Russell 2000 has the fewest advances on Friday, but a still solid 0.30% gain.
Based upon average performance Thursday has been the best day before Memorial Day with gains ranging from 0.24% from DJIA to a solid 0.46% by Russell 2000. Frequency of gains is also best on Thursdays, except for NASDAQ. Wednesday has been the softest of the three days with DJIA’s performance turning negative.

A great man once said "nothing is written". Unless it's the case of @ivan-fyodorovich-k, then there is much to be written, and even less time to write it.
And you were right, it compliments the SMLE very well
