It’s often said that your best source of new business is your own customers. But does that hold true in commercial real estate? It certainly did last week when Cognate, Inc. — which was referred by existing Christy Street tenant P3 Solutions, Inc. — signed a lease to move into a new 508 sq. ft. office in Building 42808.

Cognate Provides People Solutions

Cognate is another one of those agile, tech-savvy companies with extensive experience in the design and implementation of IT-based, process-based, or outsourced solutions in staffing and related areas. Cognate not only provides the right technology platform, but it can also incorporate best practices and deliver its proven expertise to meet any objective — often on a tight timeframe and consistently on budget.

One big plus that’s attracted a lot of businesses to Cognate is its experience working with any of the leading people management platforms — including Oracle, Siebel, and SAP. The company also handles recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) in whatever way suits an organization’s needs.

Rewarding P3 Solutions

By helping to attract a new tenant to Christy Street, P3 Solutions — which specializes in the integration of business processes with information-oriented enterprise software solutions — gets several benefits.

As the office complex becomes an increasingly dynamic business community, it will attract more customers. And those customers may well end up doing business with more than one company located there. Think cross-pollination.

Secondly, Borelli Investment Company — which is managing Christy Street — provides referral fees to businesses that recommend other companies as potential tenants. So P3 Solutions benefits financially as well. Not bad for simply recommending Christy Street as a good place to work.
