Leading European real estate firms rely on MRI Software to manage global portfolios

Savills Plc and TH Real Estate select MRI Software Version X for web-based property management solution

London, U.K. – April 13, 2017 — Prominent European real estate firms are turning to MRI Software, a global leader in real estate software solutions, to more effectively manage their local and global real estate portfolios and investments. Companies like Savills Plc, TH Real Estate, and others in the EMEA region have selected MRI Software’s web-based Version X property management and accounting platform to drive global operational efficiencies and provide an intuitive online experience for users.

Real estate technology is poised to be an integral tool for owners, operators, and investors to adapt their strategies in response to the potential impact of political and economic change. According to a 2017 research report from KPMG, the real estate industry will have to “live with uncertainty on an ongoing basis, particularly around what Brexit is likely to mean in practice for the UK and the EU.” Additionally, in a joint survey from PwC and the Urban Land Institute, entitled “Emerging Trends in Real Estate Europe 2017”, sixty-one percent of survey respondents indicated they plan to tailor their real estate strategy in response to demographic and social changes.

“For real estate companies across the globe, the ability to make strategic business adjustments based on changing market conditions will be critical for future success,” said Stephen Baker, Vice President, International and Strategic Markets at MRI Software. “MRI’s open and flexible Version X platform gives real estate investors and managers the agility to make the best decisions for their business, even during uncertain times.”

Savills Plc selects MRI Version X for property management

Savills Plc, a global real estate services provider, has selected MRI’s Version X platform to drive operational performance and efficiencies for its commercial property business in key European locations. Savills is one of the largest real estate companies in the world, and its property management team manages 230,000,000 square feet of property with a capital value in excess of £30 billion.

“Savills is delighted to continue our journey with MRI Software,” said Aron Feeley, Director and Head of Property Management Systems at Savills. “We continue to innovate how we provide solutions not only to our clients, but to our internal staff – be they property managers, financial analysts, operational, or site-based staff. We have developed a number of solutions that rely on MRI’s core platform. Without MRI’s open architecture, we simply wouldn’t be able to deliver this level of innovation. Version X builds on this further by ensuring we can always integrate with best-in-class solutions.”

TH Real Estate manages global investments with MRI Version X

TH Real Estate, one of the largest real estate investment managers in the world with c.$97bn in assets under management, is among the growing number of firms worldwide that benefit from MRI Software’s premier web-based Version X platform. Following a successful upgrade, TH Real Estate now has more than 400 total users at locations throughout Europe on Version X, including more than 30 managing agents.

MRI’s London-based global professional services team worked in partnership with TH Real Estate to deliver a powerful yet flexible web-based property management solution. MRI’s unique ability to support local and global property management requirements gives TH Real Estate the flexibility to manage portfolio performance at the local and multinational level.
