The Access Group was formed in response to our customers' reengineering initiatives and outsourcing requests. Consulting services are provided in four areas: project management, furniture asset management, relocation management and process management to corporations which do not have or wish to have in-house resources available. Operating on a fee-for-services basis, we rely on talented people with excellent skills and energy, coupled with technology to produce high quality, customer-satisfying results. In short, the Access Group is faster, more productive, better focused and more innovative than a typical in-house staff. We seek long-term client relationships which usually start with a specific project or contract. Once a success record has been established, customers usually broaden the scope of our activities to maximize their cost savings.

Inventory Services
Our account executives, technical specifiers, project managers and experienced operations personnel can perform detailed inventories to be used in conjunction with reconfigurations. Inventories are most effective if the objectives are clearly established upfront. Customers generally request onsite inventories for three reasons; insurance valuations, property tax assessments and most frequently, for reconfiguration purposes.

Relocation Coordination Services
We provide move services on two levels. First, we can coordinate and project manage moves at an oversight level. Secondly, we can coordinate, project manage and physically perform the move. Move work for Yale has included both levels. We are equally comfortable working with Yale hired Move Consultants or handling all phases of the move ourselves.

Over the years we have successfully completed many move projects for Yale. Our added value is that we have the infrastructure of people, equipment, and experience ready and able to handle moves of all sizes ranging from one person to the President's office to hundreds of people over a weekend.
