Fischer & Company Names Ted D. Uzelac President

Clifford R. Fischer, founder of Fischer & Company, the Dallas-based corporate real estate services firm, named Ted D. Uzelac the company’s new president on July 30, 2001. Uzelac joined Fischer & Company in 1996 as executive vice president and principal bringing more than 16 years of diverse corporate real estate experience.

Fischer & Company, which was established in 1985, serves Fortune 500 companies with office and industrial needs and brings a true team concept to an industry that is not known for its allegiance. Due to Fischer’s dedication to superior service with its processes and leading technology solutions, long-term relationships and strategic alliances with the nation's largest companies such as Federal Express Corporation, FedEx Ground, formerly RPS, Nortel Networks, Alcoa, Charles Schwab and Fujitsu, have given Fischer & Company a best-of-class reputation.

“Fischer & Company recognizes the leadership that Ted brings to the table," said Fischer, now chairman. “His passion and relentless work ethic that exceeds clients’ expectations will develop and maintain our growing client base and industry-leading standards.”

In February 2001, with Uzelac’s leadership, Fischer & Company aligned with Alcoa, the world’s largest producer of aluminum materials, to aggressively organize a centralized method for managing Alcoa’s real estate assets among its business units.

In the early 80s founder Cliff Fischer, took visionary steps to developed the processes and technology that is Fischer & Company’s foundation for success. As chairman, “this new structure will allow Cliff to continue being a visionary leader, as well as interact with clients and prospects and set high expectations for continued advancement,” said Uzelac.

Recently, Fischer & Company’s dedication to client satisfaction resulted in $73 million in savings for Nortel Networks. On July 20, 2001, Fischer & Company represented Nortel in the disposal of a 376, 351 square foot office building in Alpharetta, Georgia. Within 92 days of project initiation, Fischer & Company was successful in creating an aggressive plan for disposing of this property, while continuing to preserve enough space in the area to accommodate the existing work forces. Since 1992, Fischer & Company has been a strategic provider of real estate asset management on behalf of Nortel Networks, and continues to develop effective strategies for reducing real estate costs.

Nortel, Alcoa and other clients’ have adopted technology services that Fischer & Company provides. Since 1986, Fischer & Company has developed corporate real estate database management software. With Fischer’s dedication to providing pioneering technology, its development of PC software in the late 80s has blossomed into an integrated suite of web solutions for transaction and portfolio management. “We are dedicated to developing Internet tools that empower corporate real estate departments for better and faster bottom line decision making,” said Fischer.

Since the April 2000 release of ManagePath, Fischer’s web solution company, clients have experienced the value of managing active projects online.

“Fischer & Company’s commitment to leading technology developments, the impressive results of this firm’s service, and the quality of people focused on our mission is a formula for continued superior achievement,” said Uzelac.
