He demonstrated how apps already play a significant role for Yardi multifamily clients. Renters using the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yardi.com\/products\/rentcafe\/\">RentCafe<\/a> Resident app have submitted thousands of work orders, which are processed using <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yardi.com\/products\/yardi-maintenance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yardi Maintenance<\/a> mobile apps for property and maintenance managers.<\/p>\n<p>Additional apps for leasing, facilities management, and electronic health care record-keeping are already in use by Yardi clients. Mr. Yardi forecast that in the near future, apps will allow users to quickly and easily interface with their cloud-based Voyager platforms. 95 percent of Yardi clients are now cloud-hosted, he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s one of our goals &#8211; just one segment of our next pentathlon,&#8221; Mr. Yardi said. The general session opened with a video showcasing the marketing genius of pentathlete Mia Wentworth, Director of Marketing and Training at Monarch Investment and Management. Her focus on creating a &#8220;culture of achievement&#8221; at her company inspired Yardi&#8217;s remarks on bringing value to clients and breaking new ground.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time, Mr. Yardi also publicly acknowledged the company&#8217;s efforts to give back to the communities where the company has offices via corporate philanthropy and service. &#8220;In the past, we haven&#8217;t talked about it,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The thought was that if you talk about your giving, somehow it diminishes the essence of what you are doing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He shared that the company has been making community donations for the last 15 years. That effort recently expanded to a focus on climate change and environmental protection, with funding of education and advocacy programs from IREM, BOMA, and NAA.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;30 percent of all electricity used in the US is by commercial buildings. We know this can be reduced by 10 to 15 percent,&#8221; Mr. Yardi said. The company&#8217;s energy suite of products and advocacy efforts are both working toward that goal.<\/p>\n<p>A third facet of the company&#8217;s giving is focused on the underprivileged and those in crisis. The session concluded with a moving video that showcased how a Yardi team recently built a portal to assist victims of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.yardi.com\/blog\/news\/instant-housing-crisis\/15333.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fort McMurray wildfire<\/a> in Canada in just 72 hours time.<\/p>\n<p>YASC continues through Friday at the Washington Hilton.
