You know the carpet in your office is at the end
of its service life, looks terrible and needs to
be replaced.
The people in the space remind you of this fact
every time you walk through the area.
3
You would like to replace the carpet and know it
would really upgrade your space...
BUT
Every time you think about - The huge risk
expense in taking your systems furniture apart
and putting it back together again - The hassle
involved in relocating people - The griping about
lost productivity - The complaints that nothing
is where its supposed to be and doesnt work
like it should
You get a sick feeling and decide to postpone the
decision until after you retire

What Is LevitateTM?

• Patented technology developed by Milliken to
  specifically address customer needs in the
  occupied office.

• Allows all types of systems furniture to be
  safely and cost effectively lifted.

• This makes it possible to remove
  existing floorcovering and install new modular
  carpet with essentially zero disruption and
  downtime.

Why Did Milliken Invest In Developing This
Technology?

Cost for Disconnecting, Dismantling, and
Re-Assembling Systems Furniture
Why Levitate?
Cost/Systems Unit
Disconnect/Reconnect Wiring 40.00 Disconnect/Re
connect Phone 50.00 Disconnect/Reconnect
Computer 50.00 Dismantle/Move/Reassemble
Furniture 160.00 Total 300.00
Assuming 10 square yards/unit. This cost is
equivalent to 30/sq. yd.
This is a conservative estimate. Some estimates
have approached 2,000/Unit for very
sophisticated systems.
None of these hard costs are incurred using
LevitateTM technology

Why Levitate?
In addition to the savings documented in the
previous slide, LevitateTM also provides
significant soft cost savings

• With dismantle/disconnect/reassemble, a swing
  space must be available to warehouse displaced
  associates.

• The most conservative estimates allow at least 8
  hours of lost productivity per associate.

• Inevitably, systems do not immediately re-start
  at their previous level of operational
  efficiency. Some systems do not restart at all,
  and may require time and material to bring back
  online.

• Associates personal effects are often misplaced.

• Associate work routine is dramatically disrupted
  with resulting loss of efficiency and morale.

10
Why Levitate?
With A LevitateTM Installation

• No swing space is required.

• Computers and electrical operating systems are
  not disturbed, resulting in minimal lost
  productivity

• Personal effects and work routine are not
  disturbed. The only change is the almost magic
  appearance of new carpet.

• Associate efficiency and morale increase.

11
Points To Remember

• You CAN replace your carpet without having to
  endure the headaches and hassles normally
  associated with the process.

• LevitateTM allows carpet to be replaced at a
  fraction of the cost of disconnect/
  dismantle/re-assemble with essentially zero
  disruption and downtime.

• The LevitateTM process is fully supported by
  Milliken and its designated LevitateTM
  service providers.
