GlobeSt.com EXCLUSIVE: Cushman & Wakefield Rolling Out Global Extranet/Intranet

NEW YORK CITY-Cushman & Wakefield is currently in an international rollout of its new extranet and intranet systems and finalizing contracts globally for its e-management product. One potential snag could be the restructuring of its technology advisor, Agency.com.

NEW YORK CITY-David M. Gialanella, executive vice president of Global Services for Cushman & Wakefield, tells GlobeSt.com a worldwide rollout of its new intranet and extranet systems and deals to provide service to companies in the US and abroad are in the works. One potential snag in the process could come from the restructuring of C&W’s technology advisor, Agency.com, which has announced significant layoffs.

Both C&W and Agency.com are based here and have developed systems for C&W clients and employees. While Gialanella says C&W’s IT department has 435 employees of its own in the US who worked on developing a new extranet (accessible to clients around the world) and intranet system, it was done with the technical advice of Agency.com.

The extranet and intranet systems are part of what Gialanella says is an evolutionary plan for “C&W1–one big global organization.” Next week company officials will be in South America, having just returned from Europe. “This is part of the strategic planning process that began a year ago,” he says. “We are looking to create one big global infrastructure–a truly global platform.” Following the South America rollout will be Mexico and Central America and then Asia.
