LseMod -- Corporate Lease Analysis Tool

Full Disclosure: "We Don't Do Everything." ... Wouldn't it be nice if a software vendor told you what their software did not do, as well as what it did do? Welcome to Jim Duport's LseMod (short for lease module), a lease analysis program written in Excel and aimed at corporate real estate professionals. Right on the front page of LseMod's web site, Duport tells you what his program does not do. "LseMod is not a lease management program for tracking rents, critical dates, contacts, etc. LseMod is a transaction Decision tool and a Budgeting tool."

Duport, ex-Manager of Global Real Estate for Amdahl, markets LseMod to the likes of Cisco, PricewaterhouseCoopers and Time Warner for lease analysis and comparisons. So it's an application resident on your hard drive. But Duport has built nice functionality into the product for wired professionals. For example, after you run an analysis, you can e-mail it easily. The program's ReportXtractor creates a new (much smaller) Excel file that you can attach to a message. And the first page includes a table of contents for the reports that follow. Cool.

Corrections... RexOffice is headquartered in New York City, of course! Here's what's coming: "We are currently completing development and testing for our launch as the web's first at-work portal connecting employees with their companies, their buildings, and their local communities." ... Cubitz raised $2 million in its second round of financing.
