What\u2019s the best way for a real estate investment management firm to give clients the information they want when they want it? We asked Joe Biddle, director of information technology for Yardi client ABR Capital Partners<\/a>, about ABR\u2019s experience with the Yardi Investment Suite<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joe, can you tell us a little about ABR?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re based in Baltimore and co-invest with clients and joint venture partners in properties across the U.S. Our portfolio consists of 7 million square feet of commercial space and 557 million square feet of multifamily units that comprise $1 billion of assets under management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What issues did you encounter with your previous accounting systems?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We used a basic accounting package for property management and a homegrown investment management system. A major problem was the repeated manual data entry needed to transfer information between them. This labor became a drag on our limited staff resources. And clients seeking information on their investments had to request it from us via phone or email and wait for a response. Our clients and team needed, and deserved, a new software solution for accessing information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, you adopted the Yardi Investment Suite. How did it remedy these problems?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Yardi Investment Suite replaced multiple manually executed operations: performance return calculations, joint venture partner reports, capital tracking and information delivery to clients and employees. We now have a single connected automation solution that saves us substantial staff time and effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does integrated accounting & investment management improve your customer service?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With accounting data seamlessly flowing to the investment system, we can immediately communicate new opportunities to investors and prospects, customize investor reporting, and automate capital calls and distributions. This process is much faster and more accurate than using spreadsheets or other manual data entry systems. Our clients don\u2019t have to request reports from us. They can easily get them online whenever and wherever they need to find or provide information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is that also the case for your internal accountants and fund managers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Yes. Our team doesn\u2019t have to involve itself in ensuring data gets transferred correctly, which lets them focus their energies on higher value tasks, collaboration and client service. Furthermore, we can expand our accounting and investment operations as our portfolio grows without added staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s the connection between the Yardi Investment Suite & your business strategy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a fund and investment manager, we always seek to do more with our existing resources. The Investment Suite helps us do that. It creates an efficiency that makes us better at what we do. Providing information to investors, auditors and regulators is virtually effortless, and our company now functions as a virtually paperless operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What would you say about the Yardi Investment Suite to the real estate investment community?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re involved in fund management and investment management, consider the Investment Suite because of the value that comes from integrating the two operations for corporate as well as fund activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
