by Brianna Crandall — August 15, 2016 — Canadian-based real estate firm Harvard Developments recently chose MRI Software as its long-term property management software provider. Harvard Developments — which provides real estate services for commercial, office, retail, residential, industrial and investment markets nationally and internationally — will utilize MRI’s Commercial Management Suite and Property Operations Solutions for the firm’s leasing, property management, development and property acquisition needs.
Harvard Developments selected MRI Software for the company’s expertise in retail property management, the “unprecedented” flexibility of its open and highly configurable software platform, and its unwavering commitment to customer service. MRI Software’s ability to quickly configure its system to accommodate Harvard Developments’ unique business requirements was also a deciding factor.
Michele Leblanc, manager of Information Technology at Harvard Developments, commented:
The real estate businesses of Harvard Developments recognized a need for a more sophisticated, flexible and integrated solution to facilitate future growth. We are excited to have selected MRI Software and look forward to implementing their suite of powerful property management, facility management, job cost and accounting solutions. We also spoke to several references who highly recommended MRI. A key factor in our decision was their sales team’s demonstrated quality customer service, professionalism and responsiveness during our evaluation process.
Patrick Ghilani, chief executive officer at MRI Software, added:
I’m very excited to welcome Harvard Developments to our global retail client ranks. Our retail solutions will automate many of Harvard Developments’ manual processes and increase their operational efficiency. We take great pride in effectively serving the global retail industry, and I’m confident that our solutions will enhance Harvard Developments’ already successful business.
