Research from Cougar Software Finds Nearly 80% of Realcomm Attendees Want to Access Real Estate Data in the Cloud
Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) June 30, 2014 -- A survey from Cougar Software conducted amongst visitors to the Realcomm 2014 Conference in Las Vegas Nevada last week revealed that nearly 80% of attendees are looking for a cloud solution to access their real estate data. 79% of respondents see the value in implementing a financial modeling solution to help them make better decisions faster, and 58% are still using Excel to model their financial data.
“Although the numbers are still fairly high, the good news is they are down almost 10% from last year which means organizations are moving in the right direction, albeit slowly, when it comes to managing their real estate data,” said Oren Rosen, CEO, Cougar Software.
The research, conducted for the second year in a row by Cougar Software, the leading
provider of financial modeling solutions for real estate investors, also revealed that 67% of respondents confirmed that they are not confident that their in-house departments are collaborating effectively on the budgeting process. Compared to last year, confidence levels have dropped a staggering 20%.
