On Friday, Chicago-based AMLI began leasing Corrigo's main product, CorrigoNet, to manage maintenance at four of its properties. CorrigoNet enables tenants to log onto the Web or phone in to place service calls and obtain detailed status updates about their requests, and enables the usually mobile service staff to be notified of the requests via wireless technology.

Additionally, the software captures and compiles operational data to provide AMLI with benchmarkable detail regarding property performance enterprise-wide. AMLI's National service director Phil Caldwell says CorrigoNet dovetails nicely with AMLI's 48-hour service guarantee program.

Corrigo president Rick Michaux says his product helps organizations transition manual and paper-based processes to more streamlined methods, driving improvements in customer service, staff utilization, vendor management and asset performance by reducing expenses related to management, maintenance, and turnover.

In January, Corrigo landed a major contract with Menlo Park, CA-based Spieker Properties, a publicly traded real estate company that owns and operates approximately 38.5 million square feet of commercial real estate in California and the Pacific Northwest. Corrigo says Spieker is planning to implement the CorrigoNet system throughout its portfolio of properties.

If it proves successful, Corrigo may be able to close another software leasing contract with Equity Office Properties Trust, which is in the process of acquiring Spieker Properties for $7.2 billion. EOP is the nation's largest publicly held office building owner and manager with a portfolio of 380 buildings comprising 99 million square feet in 24 states.
