Global Financial Services Organisation - Rethink Efficiency
How Instant is Rethinking Workspace for a large multinational client enabling them to enhance productivity and growth without additional cost.
Context
Our client needed to balance workspace investment in a strategic location while prioritising OPEX for business operations.
Goal
To relocate from an ageing development to a new office with no CAPEX and no change to OPEX.
Challenges
- Imminent lease deadline required immediate focus and action.
- Sub-standard workspace was adversely impacting the engagement and retention of a highly-skilled, cost-efficient workforce.
- Co-working not compatible with secure financial environment.
- Smooth transition with a conventional solution would demand a 6-8 month overlap of leases, adversely impacting year-one costs.
- Corporate Real Estate team needed support of partner with local resource and insights .
Solution
- Using local expertise, Instant sourced a building suitable for financial activity.
- Bespoke ‘Managed’ solution aligned new lease start date with current lease finish date, removing a period of double rent.
- ‘Managed’ solution removed up-front fit-out expense.
- Instant Smart Supply Chain aggregated best-fit and best-value partners to drive an efficient, flexible, procurement solution.
- Fit-out delivered in a significantly compressed time frame with transparent costs.
- Instant’s ability to depreciate fit-out costs over a longer time period enhanced financial efficiency.
- Proactive advice on workspace density enhanced best-practice.
