| Public Storage, Inc. |
| With over 1,400 self-storage locations,
Public Storage is America´s storage leader, managing over 800,000
self-service storage spaces in 80 U.S. cities. |
| Reason for PowerPlan Implementation |
| PowerPlan was implemented to satisfy
the complex and challenging financial management tasks – the monthly
process of consolidation, reporting, analysis and planning for more than
1,200 locations. |
| Previous Operations |
| Prior to PowerPlan, analysts did
it the old fashioned way – working with hundreds of spreadsheets and
some clever coding. |
| Post PowerPlan Benefits |
| PowerPlan allows managers to accomplish
more with less effort. The IT and Finance departments are no longer impeded
with ongoing ad hoc analysis and special report requests. |
| Software Access and Organization
Penetration |
| Public Storage holds a corporate-wide
license, allowing unlimited concurrent use. Local users access PowerPlan
from their desktops, while remote managers access PowerPlan information
via our Web application. |
