Mr. Yardi addresses the YASC General Session on May 21.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The first Yardi Advanced Solutions Conference (YASC) of 2019 kicked off this morning in Washington, D.C., where over 2100 attendees are gathered to improve their knowledge of Yardi\u2019s products and services, network with peers, and have a little fun.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you say this week we turn Washington, D.C. into our nation\u2019s real estate technology capital?\u201d said Esther Bonardi, Yardi vice president of marketing, as the general session kicked off. The conference is the largest YASC to date.<\/p>\n

With a focus on sharing information, educating users on how to get the most out of their Yardi platform, learning about new products and features, and connecting with fellow real estate professionals, YASC is also a place where attendees answer important questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do you elevate your company to that next level? You do it by gaining information,\u201d said Bonardi, introducing Anant Yardi, company founder and president, during the general session.<\/p>\n

Continuous communication<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Yardi focused his remarks on the theme of continuous connection and how it can be beneficial for business relationships.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis day and age of continuous connection doesn\u2019t necessarily mean we are communicating all the time. But it does mean that we are available, \"\"and we respond.\u201d While displaying an image of a group of people around a dinner table, all intently staring at their smartphones, Mr. Yardi suggested that perhaps the group all had various roles in the real estate industry, as well as the capability to respond to customer and client requests, anytime and anywhere.<\/p>\n

Yardi\u2019s technology platform already allows real estate professionals to accommodate such requests, but as Mr. Yardi and the executives who presented after him Tuesday morning demonstrated, the company is poised to deliver even more innovation.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to provide a connection between the business, the consumer and the property,\u201d said Mr. Yardi, introducing the concept of \u201cbusiness to property\u201d transactions. \u201cAs we think about continuous communication, the basic way we do real estate doesn\u2019t change. But the way we transact business may change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yardi has positioned its platform to facilitate that change with solutions like Yardi Elevate<\/a> for improving asset performance and Yardi Kube<\/a> for coworking management, a potential way for property managers to capitalize on unused space, and the Yardi Pulse<\/a> platform, which can monitor energy use and automate energy management, leading to waste reduction.<\/p>\n

Future-focused product development<\/strong><\/p>\n

YASC attendees also got a sneak preview of Yardi\u2019s forthcoming smart home technology solution which will allow property managers and residents to easily manage connected services like utilities and door locks, all from an app-based interface.<\/p>\n

\"\"

\u201cUsing a single app, a resident should be able to make payments, enter service requests, request concierge services, but also make sure that the door is locked,\u201d Mr. Yardi said.<\/p>\n

Such a hub will also have advantages for property managers, who will be able to manage the utilities and locks of vacant units all from a centralized dashboard. John Pendergast, Yardi senior vice president, multifamily services, went into more details on the convenience, security, comfort and automation that Yardi\u2019s new smart home technology solution will provide.<\/p>\n

The morning presentation concluded with remarks from Rob Teel, Yardi senior vice president, global solutions, and Akshai Rao, Yardi vice president of energy and procurement.<\/p>\n

Teel introduced the Yardi Elevate platform, which is powered by big data, market data from Yardi Matrix and uses predictive analytics and prescriptive actions to increase revenue, decrease expenses, increase asset value and reduce risk.<\/p>\n

\u201cYardi Elevate will help you answer forward-thinking questions, like how much should I spend on marketing next month. These are not the accounting questions you\u2019d be answering with Yardi Voyager. The goal is to help you make better business decisions,\u201d Teel said.<\/p>\n

Yardi Elevate<\/a> provides next-level insight into asset performance, budgeting and forecasting, construction and facility management, and more.<\/p>\n

Community connections<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rao concluded the general session with a look at Yardi\u2019s corporate philanthropy programs, which offer employees in each of the company\u2019s offices the opportunity to select regional non-profits to receive donations from Yardi.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the company supports early childhood education, disaster relief and energy consumption reduction.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur company charter is very simple: \u2018Take care of our clients. Take care of our employees. Take care of our communities. Stay focused, and grow,\u2019\u201d said Rao.<\/p>\n

He introduced a few of the efforts that his home office in Austin, Texas has supported and shared the story of SEE International<\/a>, an international non-profit that supports eyesight restoration based in Santa Barbara, Calif. You can read more about the programs supported by Yardi on our Giving page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter what the technology changes are, no matter what the market fluctuations are, Yardi will always stay true to our charter,\u201d Rao said.<\/p>\n

Hilton before it moves to the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in Fort Washington, Maryland in 2021.
