MRI Software Focuses on Exciting 2015 with London Event

London, England – Over 20 of England’s most prominent real estate service contractors attended a recent MRI Software event at the London office. The key purpose was to have MRI’s leadership team share the MRI roadmap for 2015, including the benefits from the acquisition of Cougar Software, the continually growing Partner Connect program, and the most recent release of its property management platform, Version X.

“Version X brings MRI Software’s platform as a viable state-of-the-art offering to any real estate investor or property manager,” said Nick Wilks, manager at TopUp Consultants. “Its intuitive user interface and well-thought-out features enable users to access information faster and with greater flexibility.”

The meeting ended with questions from the audience and a very optimistic discussion about the many benefits that the MRI Software suite of products will have for customers and the property management market.

“At Hipercept, we believe that Version X shows that MRI is serious in its aim to improve the user experience and functionality of property management software,” said Richard Layton, manager at Hipercept. “When we were shown the new MRI•GO search and navigation tool, all attendees agreed that it was quite a game changer in the way the user would access and search for data, meaning not having to go via multiple menus to arrive at their desired location.”

“A useful and informative update on the latest release – it is good to see MRI’s long-term plans to realign its product finally starting to materialise,” said Paul Rogers, director at Integula Consulting. “I’m sure potential purchasers will welcome the re-emergence of a credible contender in this market.”

After the event, feedback highlighted the continued excitement of the consultants and their view that the new task-based search feature, MRI•GO, really changes how the property management industry will search for and act on information within its enterprise system. This new feature completely changes the way that a client uses the software and has the potential to greatly reduce the time required to complete activities within the MRI system, such as bill payment and report generation.
