Butler Enterprises Partners with MRI Software to Handle All Their Property Management Needs
Cleveland, OH (PRWEB) July 31, 2013 -- When Butler Enterprises broke ground with Butler Plaza over 40 years ago, they had the belief and drive to develop the project into the 1-million-square-foot retail experience that it is today. With plans to build an additional 1 million square foot expansion in 2013, Butler Enterprises needed to ensure its property management software could grow alongside its reputable portfolio. After reviewing several options, Butler decided that MRI Software’s fully integrated property management offering was best suited to their needs. MRI’s highly configurable software will provide the robust data and reporting necessary to effectively manage Butler’s aggressive construction as well as its existing varied portfolio.
Although Butler already had a property management software suite in place, they decided to pursue alternative candidates that would allow them to continue to host their date on-premise versus forcing them to migrate to a web-based platform. With their extensive development plans, they also required a comprehensive solution that allowed them to track all relevant costs and information from step one of the building process. After comparing the options and seeing that MRI Software could offer better functionality with the delivery model they prefer at a more affordable cost, they decided to switch to MRI’s award-winning property management solutions.
“It’s always exciting to be with a company from start to finish when it comes to an ambitious project,” said David Post, CEO of MRI Software. “We are happy that Butler Enterprises chose MRI to handle the tasks associated with managing such a large and complex property, and are looking forward to providing the best software to accomplish this impressive expansion endeavor.”
By utilizing MRI’s array of property management software, Butler will decrease the time needed to manage their financial records and leasing process through smooth automation and data integration. MRI’s robust solutions work symbiotically to maximize the profitability of real estate investments, enabling the user to pull highly configurable reports that focus on the exact data the property manager requires. MRI JobCost is especially suited to Butler’s needs, in that it easily tracks all costs from inception to completion and provides detailed financial projections along the way.
“With our expansive development plans, requiring a highly configurable, robust solution was an important factor in the decision to partner with MRI Software,” said David Blumberg, Implementation Manager. “We are happy that they offer both on-premise hosting solutions as well as their Software-as-a-Service offering so that we may manage our data as we see fit.”
