Yardi Corom
Two Yardi commercial real estate clients were recognized this month with prestig
ious Digie Award honors from the technology-focused conference and networking event Realcomm.
Deutsche Bank Wealth & Asset Management was recognized for “Best Use of Automation in Real Estate Investment Management” and Stuart Appley of Shorenstein received a “Digital Impact Award” for his contributions as an industry visionary.
According to Realcomm’s website, the Digie Awards (the name stands for “Commercial Real Estate Digital Innovation Awards’”) were created to single out “companies, real estate projects, technologies and people that have gone above and beyond to positively impact our industry through the use of technology, automation and innovation.”
Yardi is a recipient of numerous past Digie Awards for the innovation contained within its technology products, and this year the company’s energy efficiency monitoring platform, LOBOS, was a nominee. You can hear Yardi Senior Vice President of Global Solutions, Rob Teel, talk about the product’s role in the commercial technology platform in this video.
Stuart Appley – Shorenstein
Appley has been with Shorenstein since 2007 and serves as the company’s CIO. A self-described “cloud evangelist,” with a technology focused Twitter account, he has been responsible for pushing Shorenstein’s technology platforms into the realm of today’s best practices. The company chose Yardi to 
be its technology provider several years ago.
“It was time to automate a lot of different parts of the business, and Yardi’s system was the only one that has the breadth to allow us to do that,” Appley noted.
Realcomm recognized Appley as “an industry visionary and early adopter of an ‘all in’ cloud strategy for the business of commercial real estate,” who “elevated IT from a tactical to strategic role pursuing a business transformation through technology.”
“Real estate, traditionally, never spent any money on technology,” Appley told us in a past interview. “But people have started to understand that we need to understand the portfolio better, and their push is for something that’s easy to use.”
Appley responded to the award on his Twitter account, where he gave credit for the honor to his Shorenstein team.
Deutsche Bank Wealth & Asset Management
Yardi client Deutsche Bank Wealth & Asset Management was awarded a Digie for use of automation to handle investment management.
The award recognizes Deutsche Bank for its use of technology to:
- Aggregate data from multiple sources into a fully converged enterprise-wide property information system
- Centralize disparate document repositories into a single platform
- An outstanding example of a world class, global ERP implementation
Deutsche Bank has been a Yardi client since 1986. Recently, the company undertook a major effort to combine six disparate databases, each essential to its business, into a single system. The platform incorporates property management and accounting, investment management, document management and business intelligence. The fully integrated, Yardi-based system created increased efficiency, responsiveness and transparency for Deutsche Bank Wealth & Asset Management.
