Clients seek asset management and construction products as their urban and suburban offices convert into more versatile, mixed-use spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Office spaces embrace the transition to more flexible workspaces<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Among office spaces, suburban sites have remained steady during the pandemic. Though they were not as vulnerable as their urban neighbors, many suburban office owners are exploring flexible spaces to adapt to tenant demand.<\/p>\n<p>As many tenants implemented remote work policies for employees, the daily demand for office space declined. Months later and moving forward, many tenants have announced hybrid office models that permit occupants to share socially distanced workspaces on a staggered schedule. Common areas are expanding to accommodate healthy and flexible work conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Some urban offices are taking the shift to adaptable spaces even farther. \u201cTo leverage current conditions, owners transform office assets into mixed-use facilities including traditional offices, flexible workspaces, retail and even multifamily,\u201d reports Robert Teel, vice president of global solutions at Yardi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technology tools to support the transition to flexible workspaces<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The transition to more accommodating spaces has resulted in an increased demand for technology. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/products\/construction-manager\/\">Solutions for construction management<\/a> provide visibility into projects and cost management as owners transform buildings to meet the changing needs of the market. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/products\/coworking-shared-space\/\">Short-term leasing and space management solutions<\/a> help owners drive revenue in any space while promoting occupant safety.<\/p>\n<p>Vendor management, vendor compliance and procurement systems facilitate contactless transactions to eliminate paper and shorten processing cycles. In tenant management, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/products\/lease-manager\/\">technology analyzes tenant risk<\/a>, remotely executes collections and keeps the lines of communication open with lessees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProcure to Pay has received a lot of attention because it promotes business continuity and eliminates paper,\u201d says Sutherland. \u201cWhen we left and went to work from home, who was writing and signing paper checks? Perspectives shifted. Turning procurement into an electronic process, was critical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Each specialized solution integrates with owners\u2019 property management and accounting software. This eliminates errors cause by disparate systems, helping owners achieve consistency, accuracy and transparency throughout portfolio management.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technology for the evolving portfolio <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Integrated technology provides owners with the tools needed to manage their increasingly diverse portfolios. Yardi is positioned to support clients as they diversify, offering robust solutions in a wide range of verticals on top of a single <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/products\/elevate\/\">asset management platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re not going to find anybody else out there that has the breadth of mixed-use point solutions that we do,\u201d says Teel.<\/p>\n<p>Sutherland adds, \u201cThere are other point solutions out there. Yardi is laser focused on making each one of these solutions best in class. What separates us is that each solution connects to a single database. From an IT perspective, it reduces the overall burden.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/products\/elevate\/\">Join a webinar to learn how you can elevate your asset portfolio with one connected solution.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adaptability bolsters the longevity of any organization.
